Guwahati: Cadres of NSCN (K) fired at Assam Rifles men at Changlangshu village in Nagaland's Mon district on Wednesday. It is the same spot where eight jawans were killed in an ambush 10 days ago.
Defence PRO Lt Col S Newton said there is no report of any injury or casualty in the firing. "Around 8am, militants fired at the Assam Rifles post in the same area at Changlangshu village where the rebels had carried out the ambush on Sunday."
The PRO said that after the Sunday ambush, a massive search operation is being carried out in the adjoining area. The newly floated umbrella organization of four northeast militant outfits — NSCN (K), Ulfa (I), KLO and NDFB (S), United Liberation Front of Western South East Asia (ULFW) — has claimed reasonability for the ambush, but intelligence agencies and security forces have denied presence of members of any outfit other than NSCN (K) in the ambush.
"There were no members of Ulfa (I), KLO and NDFB (S) in the ambush. The operation was carried out only by NSCN (K) cadres as the area is also a major hideout of the outfit. Ulfa (I) could be playing a supporting role," a source said.
