Imphal, November 01:
Claiming responsibility for the attack on the convoy of 1st Assam Rifles at Sorbung under Phungyar Phaisat Sub-Division of Ukhrul district yesterday morning in which three personnel including a Major were killed while 10 others were injured, the proscribed outfit KYKL has stated that the attack was carried out by a special team of the 1st Lalhaba battalion of its armed wing MYL.
In a statement, deputy secretary publicity and research of the outfit Apabi said there was no casualty on the side of the outfit in the said attack.
The statement said that attack was launched as part of the armed propaganda of the ongoing liberation movement against India.
Because of unfavourable geographical location of the site where the offensive was launched, the armed cadres of MYL could not take proper position and full military impact of the attack targeted was not realised as the enemies in the front line had noticed the cadres.
So instead of guerrilla tactics as thought of earlier, conventional warfare had to be adopted finally.
Still the attack has demoralised the Indian security force, the statement added.
Bomb attack : A hand grenade hurled by unidentified persons exploded at the residence of Chief Engineer of PWD Rashtrapati at Chirom Leikai under Singjamei PS at around 7.20 am today.
No one was injured.
In another incident, bomb experts of the State Police Department retrieved a hand grenade from the Kheikhu Mayai Leikai residence of Addl Chief Engineer of IFCD Md Ajaj Khan at around 8 am today.
