On 4 June 2015, United Liberation Front of Western South East Asia (UNLFW) separatists ambushed a military convoy in Chandel districtofManipur, India, resulting in the death of eighteen Indian Army soldiers. Fifteen soldiers also suffered serious injury. The United Liberation Front, a separatist group operating in North-East India, publicly claimed responsibility for the deadly attack.[1]

In response to the UNLFW attack on Indian troops, Indian military successfully carried out a cross-border operation into Myanmar. Indian officials confirmed that the cross border operation resulted in the death of 15-20 separatists belonging to NSCN-K who were believed to be responsible for the attack on Indian armed forces in Manipur.[2][3] However the Myanmar government rejected Indian claims and stated that the Indian military operation against separatists took place entirely on the Indian side of the border and Indian troops did not cross Myanmar's border.[4][5]

According to the NSCN-K, Indian troops attacked 2 camps belonging to the NSCN-K and NSCN-IM. The Indian government has claimed that more than 120 militants were killed. The following day, the separatist claimed that the indian army did no such thing, they came and burn some camps and didnt kill even a single militant. [6]
