The Liangmai Naga Council said families were yet to identify the bodies and had not received official information on where the remains were found.
In the shifting landscape of militancy and ethnic conflict in Manipur, fresh tensions have emerged between Kuki and Naga groups, opening a new front in a state already scarred by three years of violence.
The violence that erupted in Manipur on 3 May 2023 and has now completed three years as of May 2026, did not produce a simple binary confrontation between Kukis-Zomis and Meiteis.
