Jawans killed in Manipur blast

Army officials said that combing operations are under way in the area. No insurgent group has claimed responsibility for the attack, said sources. Two years ago, insurgents had attacked an army convoy, killing 17 soldiers.

Located near the Myanmar border, the insurgents move back to camps in Myanmar after carrying out attacks on Indian forces. After the June 4, 2015, attack, the Army carried out a surgical strike on three insurgent camps in Myanmar.
