Manipur Jiribum Violence: Three children and three women are missing from Manipur's Jiribam since yesterday after an encounter broke out between suspected Kuki insurgents and the security forces.

"Security forces have launched an operation to search for the missing people. They are three women and three children. The Assam Rifles, Border Security Force and the Central Reserve Police Force will retaliate if fired upon," a senior Manipur Police officer told reporters in the state capital Imphal today.
