Armed forces personnel allegedly killed 13 civilians – all coal miners — in an “ambush” in Nagaland’s Mon district on December 4 evening, local organisations said.
There was no official confirmation about the incident or the number of people killed. Neither the district authorities nor the officials of the armed forces were available for comment.
Locals said para commandos are believed to have mistaken the victims as members of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Khaplang-Yung Aung) and ambushed them.
