Three improvised explosives devices (IEDs) were defused by the army in Manipur's Imphal East district, a defence spokesperson said today.

The IEDs were found concealed on the road connecting Nongdam and Itham villages, 46 km apart. The section of the road where the IEDs were found is closer to Maphou dam and Nongdam village.

"During a routine area-domination and surveillance operation, army personnel noticed the three IEDs placed, in tandem, along the road. Army column acted swiftly and cordoned off the area," the defence spokesperson said in a statement.
