Imphal: In a pre-dawn incident, suspected Kuki militants targeted the Bodobekra Police Station in Jakuradhor, located in the Bodobekra sub-division of Manipur’s Jiribam district. The attack, which took place around 5:30 am, involved multiple rounds of gunfire and the use of explosive devices, aimed at the eastern perimeter of the police station.
