Lamka, June 15, 2026: The Kuki-Zo Council (KZC) has strongly condemned the attack and bombing at Leilon Munlui village in Kangpokpi district on Monday morning, which left three Kuki-Zo youths seriously injured.
In a press release issued on June 15, the council alleged that the attack was carried out at around 6:00 a.m. by NSCN-IM and its proxy outfit, ZUF-K. The injured were identified as Genlenmang Vaiphei (18), Lunliandou Vaiphei (20), and Paogoulal Chongloi (18). They were evacuated to the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Imphal, for treatment.
KZC noted that Paogoulal Chongloi is a promising Indian footballer who has represented Mohun Bagan Football Club.
The council described the incident as part of a continuing pattern of violence against the Kuki-Zo community, alleging that several attacks, killings, and incidents of village burnings have occurred in recent months.
KZC also expressed concern over reports that a large crowd gathered at RIMS in protest against the treatment of the injured youths, prompting security forces to intervene and disperse the gathering.
While condemning the recent killing of six Naga hostages, the council claimed that at least 14 Kuki-Zo people, including three pastors, have been killed since March 11, 2026, in attacks allegedly linked to NSCN-IM and ZUF-K. It further alleged that more than six Kuki villages had been set on fire during the same period.
The council reiterated its demand for a separate administration and urged the Government of India to address the situation through a political solution. It also appealed to citizens to condemn violence irrespective of community and ensure peace, security, and equality for all.
