Panic has gripped Jiribam and Bishnupur districts in Manipur following a series of drone and rocket attacks. The violent shelling has resulted in at least six deaths and numerous injuries. Terrified residents reported seeing drones flying continuously, creating a harrowing atmosphere in their homes.
Local officials informed the Press Trust of India (PTI) that many drones were spotted over Bishnupur and Imphal East on Friday night, spreading extreme fear among the population. In response, residents turned off their lights and remained indoors to avoid detection.
Insurgents have reportedly dropped bombs from drones at two locations near Imphal West, exacerbating the panic and increasing the number of drones observed over the affected areas.
A Manipur government spokesperson stated that security forces are on high alert, closely monitoring the situation and imposing restrictions on large gatherings to maintain control in the conflict zones.
