Dibrugarh, Oct 21: In a cross-border offensive, Indian security forces reportedly carried out a drone strike on NSCN (K-YA) camps inside Myanmar on Sunday evening, targeting top insurgent leadership.
According to sources, the strike specifically hit the camp of self-styled Major General Peyong Konyak, a senior NSCN (K-YA) commander believed to be the key mastermind behind the recent attack on an Assam Rifles Company Operating Base (COB) in Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh.
Preliminary reports indicate that five people, including three of Peyong’s personal bodyguards, were killed in the attack. The NSCN (K-YA) has alleged that Indian security forces were behind the operation.
The strike comes just days after a series of militant assaults in the region. On October 16, suspected NSCN (K-YA) militants had attacked an Assam Rifles COB at Hedman, along the Indo-Myanmar border in Changlang. In a separate incident, ULFA (I) cadres launched an attack on an Army base at Koomsang under Kakopathar police station in Assam’s Tinsukia district, injuring three Army personnel.
Sources said ULFA (I) militants used under-barrel grenade launchers (UBGLs) and automatic rifles during the assault.
