A coordinated combing operation by joint security forces in Ukhrul on Saturday, April 11, 2026, dismantled 21 bunkers after a Border Security Force (BSF) constable was killed in a suspected crossfire, EastMojo reported. The operation ran from about 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. and covered the Mongkot Chepu and Sikhibung areas of the district, involving personnel from the Manipur Police, the BSF and the CRPF.
Combing operations are systematic searches of a specified area to locate hideouts, weapons or suspects; this sweep aimed to neutralize any prepared positions following the constable’s death. Security teams carried out searches across targeted locations and removed or demolished 21 structures described as bunkers during the operation.
Authorities have described the incident in which the BSF constable was killed as a suspected crossfire; details about the circumstances leading to the death and any other casualties were not provided in the report. Local officials said the dismantling of the bunkers was part of immediate follow-up measures to reduce threats to security personnel and civilians in the area.
Investigations into the killing are ongoing and security forces said they will continue patrols and combing operations to prevent further incidents. Further updates are expected as officials complete their enquiries and release more information.
