On the 15th of October 2026, a team of Naga Village Guard-Eastern Command (NVG-EC) on patrolling duty came under heavy attack from the Kuki National Army-Burma (KNA-B) and Village Volunteers of Eastern Zone (VVEZ) near Huimin Thana along the Indo-Myanmar Border (IMB) under the Kamjong Sub-Division.
The incident occurred at around 4.30pm on Thursday when a team of NVG-EC was on patrol duty in and around the Tangkhul Naga villages along the IMB, which was left deserted following an armed external aggression on the 1st of July 2026. A team of NVG-EC retaliated in defence and was able to thwart back the heavily armed militants of KNA-B and VVEZ. The firing encounter lasted for about an hour and casualties have been reported on their side. A civil defence volunteer of NVG-EC was grievously injured and rescued with support from the locals. He was immediately rushed to the Kamjong District Hospital and had been administered necessary treatment.
Ever since the fateful incident of external aggression at Tangkhul Naga villages namely Z. Choro, Wanglee and Namlee on the 7th of May 2026, the Kuki narco-terrorists and Myanmar based militants have been constantly unleashing terrors and launching a deadly offensive against the border Naga villagers. On the 24th of September and the 10th of October 2026, a combined terrorist group of KNA-B and VVEZ brutally shot dead four villagers at Pilong and two (2) civilians of Ningchou respectively.
In spite of the regular external aggression on border villagers under Kamjong District, the concerned government have repeatedly failed to protect and ensured security for the citizens all this while. The series of border attacks have so far claimed six (6) innocent Naga civilians, several residential houses and other properties in different villages. However, the responsible authorities have shown an obvious indifference to the critical circumstances facing the villagers.
The Eastern Command of Naga Village Guard (NVG-EC), while conveying its stern warning against the aggressive stance of the Kukis, vows to fight on and protect its land, people and identity. In this time of grave threat to our nation, we call upon all the Naga youths to remain firm, courageous and stand united together.
