Tensions in Manipur escalated on January 11 when a mob attacked and destroyed a makeshift Assam Rifles camp in Kamjong district. The mob, from the Kasom Khullen area, was protesting against restrictions on timber transport for housing construction.  
Assam Rifles personnel used tear gas and fired into the air to disperse the crowd, but the camp was destroyed. No casualties were reported.  
Manipur has been dealing with ongoing ethnic violence since May 2023, resulting in over 250 deaths and thousands displaced.
