India Today  

Suspected militants launched a fresh attack in Manipur's Kadangband area during the early hours of Wednesday, firing multiple rounds using sophisticated firearms and throwing bombs. The militant attack occurred just hours after Chief Minister Biren Singh apologised for the violence and promised to restore peace in the year ahead, urging citizens to "forgive and forget". According to the police, militants fired several rounds from sophisticated arms and hurled bombs from their hill positions in Kangpokpi district to the low-lying Kadangband area in Imphal West district around 1 am. Meanwhile, security forces seized a huge cache of arms and ammunition during search operations in the Bishnupur and Thoubal districts, including sophisticated weapons such as SLR with a magazine, one.303 rifle, one 12 bore single barrel gun, two 9mm pistol with magazines, one anti-riot gun, two INSAS LMG magazine, two INSAS rifle magazine, four hand grenades, one detonator, five anti-riot shell, ammunition and other articles.
