Indian troops are said to have entered Myanmarese territory for the second time in less than a year in pursuit of militants responsible for the May 22 deadly ambush on an Assam Rifles convoy in Manipur , officials familiar with the matter said. Initial reports suggested that at least eight militants were killed in the operation late Friday, they said.
"The AR (Assam Rifles) has informed us that besides killing eight, they have picked up 18 militants who were later handed over to the Myanmar authorities," said an official from the security establishment. (Courtesy of economictimes.indiatimes.com)
