Two people who sustained bullet injuries in an ambush in Ukhrul district, Manipur, were airlifted to Imphal on Friday evening, April 24, 2026, for advanced medical treatment, official sources said. The injured were flown to the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Imphal, where they are currently receiving care.
According to officials, the victims were shot during an attack in Ukhrul in which suspected Kuki armed miscreants targeted members of a Naga village group. Authorities identified the assailants as “suspected Kuki armed miscreants,” but gave no further details about the circumstances of the ambush in initial statements.
Hospital officials confirmed the two were admitted to RIMS for treatment, while police and local administration sources said the injured were evacuated by air due to the severity of their wounds and difficult road access from the incident site. Officials did not immediately disclose the patients’ current medical condition.
Local law enforcement is reportedly probing the incident and coordinating with district authorities; further details, including any arrests or motives, had not been released at the time of reporting. More information is awaited from official sources.
