The Kuki Women Organisation for Human Rights (KWOHR) has strongly condemned an alleged brutal and unprovoked armed attack on the Kuki-inhabited villages of Mulam and Songphai in the early hours of April 24, 2026. In its press release, the organisation stated that the attack occurred at approximately 5:30 AM, following reports of blank gunfire around 1:00 AM—an apparent tactic to instil fear and confusion among villagers.
According to KWOHR, heavily armed militants carried out a coordinated and premeditated assault, descending upon the villages and causing widespread damage. At least 15 houses were reportedly damaged, six civilians sustained injuries due to indiscriminate firing, and two innocent lives were lost in the attack. The organisation noted that such repeated incidents, including reported gunfire directed towards nearby villages like Leplen, have contributed to an atmosphere of fear and insecurity among vulnerable communities.
KWOHR described the attack as an inhumane, cowardly, and unlawful act, emphasising that violence against unarmed civilians constitutes a grave violation of human rights and cannot be tolerated under any circumstances. The organisation has called for immediate registration of an FIR and a transparent, time-bound investigation into the incident. It also demanded swift identification, arrest, and prosecution of all those responsible.
Further, KWOHR urged the urgent deployment of adequate security forces to protect vulnerable villages and prevent further attacks. It called for immediate medical assistance and adequate compensation for the injured, as well as justice and support for the families of those who lost their lives. The organisation also stressed the need for restoration, reconstruction, and rehabilitation support for all affected households.
Reaffirming its solidarity with the victims, KWOHR urged the government and concerned authorities to take immediate and decisive action to restore peace, ensure justice, and uphold the rule of law in the region.
