Suspected militants open fire on two vehicles in Manipur’s Ukhrul district, killing four people traveling in them. The attack takes place in the New Heaven area along the Imphal–Ukhrul road, also known as National Highway 202.
Police statements cited by multiple outlets describe the incident as targeting a Bolero pick-up and a Maruti Swift, with bullet marks reported on the windshields. The occupants—two men and two women—are said to die on the spot.
Context on the wider violence in Manipur appears in some coverage. Free Press Journal links the attack to a broader pattern of intermittent shootings and ethnic tensions across hill districts, referencing violence between Meitei and Kuki communities and noting a Kuki death reported the day before. The Hindu focuses primarily on the immediate facts of the attack and the location, while Scroll.in highlights a related killing elsewhere in the state that occurred the day before.
