NSCN-K militants attack Assam Rifles convoy in Nagaland

Guwahati, Sept 3 (IBNS) : Banned insurgent group National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Khaplang) ambushed a convoy of Assam Rifles in Zunheboto district of Nagaland on Friday evening.

Four jawans were injured in the incident, which  took place between  Ghokishe and Luvishe villages in the district.

According to the reports, the militants  ambushed a four- vehicle convoy of Assam Rifles.

NSCN-K, however, claimed that at least 8-10 security personnel were killed while several others injured. 

NSCN-K leader Isak Sumi claimed that one of the four vehicles had rolled down a gorge and maximum occupants of the vehicle were possibly killed.

But the Nagaland government and defence sources said that four security personnel were injured and nobody was killed in the attack.

“NSCN-K’s claim was baseless and they are trying to spread rumours,” an official of Nagaland government said.

This is the third attack on security forces by the  insurgent group in the past one  month.

NSCN-K had attacked the Assam Rifles personnel along the Nagaland-Myanmar border at a remote area under Changlang district in Arunachal Pradesh last month.
