IMPHAL, Sep 6: Suspected militants fired two rockets in Manipur’s Bishnupur district on Friday, killing one person and injuring five others, as tension gripped the Imphal Valley region following high-tech attacks over the past few days.
The rocket attacks came after drones were employed to drop bombs on people at two nearby places in Imphal West district earlier this week.
Both are earlier unheard of in the state where ethnic violence left over 200 people dead and thousands homeless since May last year.
The Manipur government announced the closure of schools on September 7 in view of unrest arising out of bomb attacks. (PTI)
