The firing began around 3.15 am at the Longvi Company Operating Base of the 21 Assam Rifles and lasted 15-20 minutes before the attackers fled into dense forest. No security personnel were killed or injured, reports The Assam Tribune. It is not known if any militants were hit in the retaliatory fire. Sources named self-styled Colonel Makam Hachen as the leader of the attack, but this could not be independently verified. Security forces believe the assault was an attempt to disrupt Independence Day celebrations. Extensive combing operations are underway, and security has been tightened along the Assam-Arunachal border, with increased checks and patrolling in Tinsukia district. ## Coverage - assamtribune.com Tags: Arunachal Pradesh, Assam Rifles, Independence Day, militant attack, NSCN Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/suspected-nscn-militants-attack-assam-rifles-camp-in-arunachal/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
