An Assam Rifles patrol came under suspected militant fire near Nampong Nallah in Changlang district, Arunachal Pradesh on Tuesday, killing Havildar Jankhokai Kuki (42) and injuring four other personnel. The attack occurred around 6:30 am while personnel of 21 Assam Rifles were patrolling an area where border fencing work was underway, officials said.
Initial information suggests militants from the NSCN (K-YA) faction may be responsible, though no group has been formally confirmed. Security forces have intensified search operations and launched an investigation. Changlang Superintendent of Police Kirli Padu confirmed police are gathering details. The injured personnel were evacuated to a military hospital, their condition has not been disclosed.
