Dibrugarh, Oct 16: Suspected NSCN-KY(A) militants launched an attack on an Assam Rifles Company Operating Base (CoB) at Hedman along the Indo-Myanmar border in Arunachal Pradesh’s Changlang district early Thursday morning.
According to reports, two soldiers sustained minor injuries and were immediately evacuated for medical treatment.
Confirming the incident, an Assam Rifles official said, “A group of militants opened fire on one of our Company Operating Bases. Two soldiers sustained minor injuries and have been evacuated. Our troops promptly retaliated, and a search operation has been launched in the area.”
This marks the second such attack on an Assam Rifles base in Arunachal Pradesh within the last three months. In August, militants had targeted the CoB at Noglo.
The Indo-Myanmar border region in Changlang district is known for its dense forests and difficult terrain, which insurgent groups often exploit to launch attacks and retreat across the international border.
