Insurgents Use Drones in Manipur

Date:

In a shocking escalation of the ongoing conflict in Manipur, insurgents have employed drones to carry out attacks on police and civilians. This marks a significant shift in tactics, raising concerns about foreign intelligence involvement and the broader implications for India’s security.

The conflict in Manipur has taken a dangerous turn as insurgents used drones to launch a coordinated attack on police and civilians. This unprecedented use of technology in local conflicts has raised alarm bells, pointing to a new level of sophistication and potential foreign involvement.

Insurgents in Manipur have dramatically escalated the ongoing crisis by deploying drones in a targeted attack against police forces and civilians. This marks the first time drones have been used in such a manner in the region, signifying a dangerous shift in the insurgents’ tactics. Multiple drones, including heavy-duty models capable of carrying weapons, were utilized in the attack.

The deployment of these advanced drones has led to speculation about the involvement of foreign intelligence agencies aiming to destabilize India. The ethnic strife in Manipur may have been exploited by these agencies to further their agendas. The possibility of Chinese and Burmese intelligence agencies playing a role in this attack cannot be dismissed. The precision and coordination observed in the attack suggest a high level of training and funding, likely provided by foreign elements.

The attack has resulted in the tragic loss of two lives, with 12 civilians sustaining serious injuries. This incident underscores the growing threat of drone warfare in internal conflicts and the urgent need for enhanced security measures in the region.
