A woman was killed and her husband and son injured in a fresh outbreak of violence in Manipur, authorities said. The attack marks another casualty among civilians caught in the state's persistent communal tensions.
The incident occurred along the NH-37 corridor, a vital road link connecting Imphal, the state capital, with Jiribam in the valley. The highway serves as a crucial economic and logistical artery for the region, facilitating movement of goods and people between key population centers.
The attack has intensified concerns among residents about civilian safety in areas adjacent to the highway, where communities have faced recurring incidents of violence. Local administrators have urged heightened vigilance and improved coordination between security forces to prevent further casualties.
The northeastern state has witnessed prolonged communal unrest over the past months, with sporadic clashes between different ethnic groups claiming numerous lives. Authorities have maintained increased patrols and security deployments in volatile areas, though incidents continue to occur in various parts of Manipur.
