Two members of the Myanmar-based United Tribal Volunteers Group were apprehended by Assam Rifles in Chandel district, Manipur, on October 18, as part of a targeted operation to prevent cross-border militant activities. This operation underscores the ongoing challenges posed by insurgent groups exploiting the porous India-Myanmar border amidst the backdrop of ethnic violence in Manipur, which has claimed over 260 lives since May 2023. The effective intervention by Indian security forces highlights their commitment to maintaining stability in the region and countering external threats. The apprehension reflects broader implications for regional security, emphasizing the need for continued vigilance and cooperation in combating insurgency and ensuring peace along the sensitive frontier.
