Manipur security forces intensified operations, arresting four individuals linked to extortion and militant groups like PREPAK and KYKL. Explosives, including mortars and IEDs, were recovered and destroyed. Additionally, over 70 acres of illegal poppy cultivation were eradicated. Over 100 checkpoints were established, ensuring smooth movement of essential goods.

A 20-year-old Kuki-Zo woman, a survivor of brutal sexual violence during Manipur's ethnic riots, has died from her injuries. Allegedly gang-raped and left for dead in May 2023, her case remains unresolved with no attackers identified. Her death highlights the ongoing suffering and calls for justice for the community.

Manipur police apprehended three militants, including two women from the banned PLA, in separate operations across Tengnoupal and Imphal East districts. A PREPAK (PRO) militant was also arrested in Imphal East, with a pistol recovered. Separately, a 10 kg IED was safely defused near Sijang Kuki village in Churachandpur.
