According to the organisation, Jamang, the son of Lungshim Jamang from Chatrik Khullen village, was on routine patrol between Sirarakong and Sinakeithei when his unit was reportedly ambushed. The group claimed that armed militants carried out the attack during ongoing tensions in the area.
Jamang, described as a volunteer who stood in defence of his community, reportedly died while guarding his village. The attack also left four other volunteers injured, identified as Ino Ramshang Kamodang, Ino Horreir Khokyar, Ino Shonshok Mahung, and Ino Ramganing Mahon.
Khanuithot-Khon said Jamang is survived by his wife and a ten-month-old daughter, and extended prayers for the speedy recovery of the injured volunteers.
