Three NSCN (K) insurgents are reported to have been gunned down during a heavy exchange of gunshots in an encounter with Assam Rifles in Arunachal Pradesh.
The incident took place near the Indo-Myanmar border in Longding district between Khunsa and Wakra. The slain rebels by Yung Aung-led NSCN-K had ‘kidnapped’ two persons from Lahu village in Tirap district and attempted to take them across the international border.
No official confirmation is available as of now but local sources reported the incident.
One AR jawan was reportedly injured in the incident, he said. A team of district police officers later visited the village, located along the country’s border with Myanmar, to collect the bodies and sent them for post-mortem, the DC said.
The slain ultras are yet to be identified, he said, adding that more details are awaited. On Saturday, a commanding officer of the Assam Rifles, his wife and son, along with four other personnel of the force, lost their lives in an ambush by militants in Churachandpur district of Manipur.
