IMPHAL, Nov 13: Four people, including two women, were killed after suspected militants opened fire on two vehicles in Manipur's Ukhrul district on Friday, police said.
The incident took place in the New Haven area on the Imphal-Ukhrul road.
A senior police officer said the assailants fired at passengers travelling in two four-wheelers. All four occupants of the vehicles died on the spot.
Bullet marks were found on the front windscreens of both vehicles.
Police have not disclosed who was behind the attack or the motive, the officer said.
A day earlier, a 42-year-old Kuki woman was killed and two men were injured in firing between two armed groups near Taphou Kuki village in Kangpokpi district.
Violence has continued intermittently in Manipur's hill areas since the Meitei-Kuki ethnic conflict began in May 2023.
