Two young children were killed and their mother sustained injuries after a suspected militant attack targeted a civilian residence in Manipur’s Bishnupur district in the early hours of Tuesday. The injured woman, believed to be the children’s mother, was rushed to a nearby medical facility. The chief minister said the attack was a "barbaric act" and "an outright assault on humanity and a direct attempt to derail the hard-earned peace in Manipur." Let there be no doubt, those responsible will be identified, hunted down, and dealt with firmly under the law. He also urged the people to remain united and resolute against those who seek to disturb the collective harmony.
