Dibrugarh: Amid Republic Day celebrations, an Assam Rifles camp in Arunachal Pradesh’s Changlang district came under attack by suspected militants on Monday morning.
According to sources, the attack occurred around 8:45 a.m. at the Ranglum Assam Rifles camp, located near the Myanmar border, approximately 10 kilometres from the Changlang district headquarters. Officials suspect a joint operation by cadres of ULFA-Independent and NSCN (K-YA) was responsible for the assault.
Following the attack, Assam Rifles personnel launched a prompt counter-operation. No casualties or injuries have been reported so far.
In response, security has been significantly reinforced across the border region. A coordinated joint operation involving security forces has been initiated to track and neutralise the militants.
The incident comes amid heightened vigilance in the Northeast during national celebrations, underscoring the persistent threat posed by insurgent groups along the Assam-Arunachal-Myanmar frontier.
