Xinhua, April 1, 2015 Adjust font size:

At least three people were killed and two others injured in a militant attack on a village in the northeast Indian state Manipur on Tuesday, said local media.

Heavily armed guerrillas attacked the people, killing three on the spot, in Ukhrul district bordering Myanmar. Two others were injured in the attack, the Indo-Asian News Service quoted a police official as saying.

The militants attacked the village when paramilitary forces were patrolling in the nearby area, said the report.

Manipur has about 40 militant outfits, some of which have reached ceasefire with authorities while some others continue to attack government forces.
