Imphal, March 07:
The UNLF has claimed to have slain two personnel of the Assam Rifles and inflicting serious injury to one when MPA cadres attacked an AR team on March 3 at near Molvailup of Ukhrul district.
A statement issued by the UNLF's senior publicity officer Ksh Yoiheiba in connection with the attack also denied report filed/carried by news agency UNI and others.
Yoiheiba contended that the report of two MPA members killed in the attack, recovery of one SLR weapon and a wireless set besides burning down of 10 houses by the retreating MPA cadres is totally false and concocted.
Asserting that the report was planted by the Assam Rifles intent to malign image of the UNLF and to lift the sagging morale of the security forces.
The statement added that all the MPA cadres that took part in the attack had reached the battalion headquarters safe and sound.
