IN a dramatic escalation along the India-Myanmar border, Indian Special Forces reportedly carried out a high-intensity drone strike on the night of 12 July 2025, targeting multiple camps of the banned insurgent group ULFA (Independent) and its allies.
According to sources and a press release issued by the Revolutionary People's Front (RPF) dated 14 July 2025, over 150 bombs were dropped using advanced drones on four ULFA(I) camps and a joint base shared with the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).
The strike, which began around midnight and continued into the early hours of 13 July, is reported to have killed Lt. General Nayan Asom, Chairman of the Lower Council of ULFA(I), while injuring several other cadres. The RPF expressed condolences in its statement, calling Asom a “hero” who laid down his life for the cause.
The RPF condemned the operation as a form of "proxy war" and an act of aggression against what it described as the “independent” territories of Assam and Manipur. The group rejected Indian sovereignty in the region and accused the Indian government of historical manipulation and deception, labelling it the “Archenemy.”
As of now, the Indian government has not issued an official statement regarding the strike. However, defence analysts suggest the action could be part of a wider counter-insurgency strategy to dismantle rebel strongholds along the porous Indo-Myanmar border.
Northeastern India has seen rising tensions in recent months, marked by insurgent activity and renewed separatist sentiment. The Indian Army has consistently maintained that outfits such as ULFA(I) and PLA operate from sanctuaries across the Myanmar border and pose a serious security challenge.
With the situation on edge, security forces across several Northeastern states remain on high alert. Further updates are expected as ground-level assessments and official responses continue to emerge.
