On April 7, two children were killed and their mother seriously injured after a suspected rocket attack targeted a civilian residence in Moirang Tronglaobi village in Bishnupur District of Manipur, reports India TodayNE. The projectile, believed to have been launched by suspected Kuki militants from nearby hill slopes, struck the house directly, triggering a powerful explosion. The victims were identified as a five-year-old boy and his five-month-old sister. Residents claimed the projectile was fired from a location more than three kilometres away in adjoining hill areas near Churachandpur District.
