Three Kuki villagers, including two women, were killed and four others injured in an attack in Manipur's Kangpokpi district on Monday, August 31, 2026. The incident occurred around 9:30 a.m. near N. Teikhang Kuki village along the IT Road, according to Kuki-Zo organisations. They said suspected members of two Naga extremist groups attacked the village, opened fire, and set several houses on fire.

The deceased were identified as Tingneichin Lhouvum, 40, Hoineineng Lhoujem, 21, and Lamtinthang Lhoujem, 36. Two women were among the injured.

The attack took place on the same road where four Liangmai Naga civilians were killed four days earlier, on Thursday, August 27. N. Teikhang Kuki village is close to Makui Ashang village, near where suspected Kuki extremists allegedly killed the four Nagas. The motives behind the latest attack have not been independently confirmed.
