The Army today inflicted “heavy casualties” on NSCN(K) cadre during an operation along the India–Myanmar border, the Eastern Command said today.
“Indian security forces” suffered no casualties, it said. “Heavy casualties reportedly inflicted on NSCN(K) cadre. No casualties suffered by Indian Security Forces,” the Eastern Command said in a tweet.

The Army's Eastern Command made clear it didn't cross the international border. The operation was triggered after a column of the Indian Army was attacked by insurgents.
The Army also stated that the operation was nothing like the Special Forces' cross-border raid carried out in 2015 to destroy Naga insurgent camps inside Myanmar.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
