KAMJONG, June 11, 2026: The Eastern Kuki Chiefs' Association (EKCA) has strongly condemned what it described as a brutal attack on Kultuh Village in Kamjong district, which allegedly occurred in the early hours of Thursday.
In a press communiqué issued on June 11, EKCA claimed that heavily armed attackers struck the village at around 4:00 a.m., setting fire to seven houses, including the village church. The association alleged that the attack was carried out by members of NSCN (Eastern Flank) and the Shanni National Army (SNA), allegations that could not be independently verified at the time of reporting.
According to EKCA, two civilians were killed in the incident. The deceased were identified as Letminlun Haokip, Head Deacon of Kultuh Church, and Lunminthang Haokip, Youth Chairman of Kultuh Church. The association stated that both were respected community leaders who had dedicated their lives to serving the church and society.
EKCA further reported that two other civilians sustained injuries and are currently undergoing medical treatment.
Describing the incident as a grave violation of human rights, EKCA said the targeting of civilians and the destruction of a place of worship were unacceptable acts that deserved condemnation from all peace-loving citizens. The association expressed its condolences to the bereaved families and prayed for the recovery of those injured.
The organisation also urged the government and security agencies to launch an immediate investigation, bring those responsible to justice, and strengthen security measures for vulnerable villages in the region.
EKCA emphasized that violence against civilians can never be justified and called for collective efforts to maintain peace and security in the area.
