Houses Torched as Fresh Unrest Erupts in Ukhrul/ Manipur

Описание: Fresh violence broke out in Manipur’s Ukhrul district after armed groups allegedly torched several houses, triggering renewed unrest and prompting heightened security measures. The incidents were reported from areas under Litan subdivision, where tensions between two tribal communities escalated sharply late Sunday night. Visuals circulating online show gunfire, burning structures, and panic among residents, underscoring the severity of the situation.
The arson attacks followed days of mounting tension in the region. According to officials, the situation deteriorated after an alleged assault on a community member, which led to stone-pelting and confrontations between rival groups. In response, prohibitory orders were imposed to restrict movement and prevent further clashes. Despite these measures, violence flared again, resulting in damage to multiple homes on both sides of the conflict.
Security forces have since been deployed in large numbers across vulnerable areas, with checkpoints established along key routes leading to the affected villages. Authorities stated that the reinforcements aim to restore calm, prevent the movement of armed elements, and safeguard civilians. No official confirmation of casualties has been released so far, though property damage is believed to be significant.
Officials have appealed to residents to maintain restraint and cooperate with law enforcement agencies. Monitoring remains intense as the administration assesses the situation and evaluates further steps to prevent the unrest from spreading to nearby areas. The episode highlights the fragile security environment in parts of the district, where long-standing tensions continue to pose challenges to peace and stability.
