evidence: Since September 1, when violence flared up in the state, at least 10people have died. Clashes first began in Manipur on May 3 last year between the dominant Meities and the tribal Kukis, but has since spiralled to engulf the entire state, killing 225people. Communities have withdrawn behind their respective strongholds -- the Meiteis in the valley and the Kukis in the hills. But after a brief interlude of nearly three months, violence returned to Manipur on September 1, when one woman was killed and 10 others were injured after militants opened fire and dropped grenades using drones, in the first bombing of its kind in the strife-torn state. [...] In the last 10 days, rockets were fired in at least two places — Molphai Tampa and Tronglaobi - in Manipur’s Bishnupur district. One person died and over six were injured.
