Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM) vehemently condemns the barbaric attack perpetrated by heavily armed cadres of NSCN-IM and its proxy ZUF (K) at Loibol Khullen, Kangpokpi District, beginning at around 4:00 AM on 5 June 2026.
According to reports, the attack resulted in the tragic killing of three innocent civilians from Loibol Khullen — Mr. Letkhongam Haokip, his wife Mrs. Tinmary Haokip, and Mr. Jangminlal Haokip — while seven houses were reduced to ashes and substantial damage was inflicted upon civilian properties.
