Militants attack BSF post on Indo-Myanmar border in Manipur

Armed militants attacked a Border Security Force post on the Indo-Myanmar border in Manipur's Chandel district in the wee hours of Friday, official sources said.

They said militants raided the BSF post at Chavangphai village, about 1.5 km east of Moreh, and the exchange of fire lasted for about half an hour.

There was no casualty on the BSF side, the sources said adding it was not known whether any of the militants, who slipped into the nearby jungles, was hurt in the incident.

Heavy reinforcement was rushed to the post and all security posts in the Indo-Myanmar border were also alerted, they added.

Meanwhile, the situation along the border was tense but under control, the sources said.
