Imphal, Sep 18 (PTI): Suspected militants launched a fresh attack at Mongbung Meitei village in Manipur’s Jiribam district, police said on Wednesday.

However, no one was injured in the exchange of fire, they said.

Security forces were rushed to the spot to bring the situation under control and firing stopped around 8 pm, an officer said.

Authorities are monitoring the situation and have urged local villagers to cooperate with security forces while conducting operations, another officer said.
