An Assam Rifles patrol came under fire in Arunachal Pradesh’s Changlang district on September 29, killing one soldier and injuring four others. Reports by the Times of India and New Indian Express that day, citing officials, placed the attack near Nampong Nallah at about 6.30 a.m., close to border-fencing work.

The force paid tribute to Havildar Jangkhokai Kuki, who died in the attack. The wounded personnel were taken for treatment. Their subsequent condition was not established in the reviewed accounts.

Security forces intensified operations. Changlang Superintendent of Police Kirli Padu said local police had been instructed to gather information about the incident.

Initial accounts raised possible NSCN (K-YA) involvement without officially confirming the attackers’ identity. New Indian Express reported that no group had claimed responsibility. The Economic Times’ September 30 account also described the group’s involvement as a possibility, rather than an established finding.
