Friday night: a woman was shot dead in Chassad village in Kamjong district.
Saturday: an exchange of fire between armed groups continued, and suspected militants killed people in villages in Kangpokpi, Kamjong and Ukhrul.
Sunday: no fresh incidents were reported, and forces intensified patrols.
The toll stands at nine, according to officials, in clashes between Naga and Kuki groups.
More than 40 people have reportedly been killed in such clashes since February 2026.
The dead include a woman, according to the reports.
Reports say the violence began on Friday night, when a woman was shot dead in Chassad village in Kamjong district, according to Daijiworld.
Chassad is a Kuki-majority village in a predominantly Naga district, according to the same report.
That killing set off an exchange of fire between Kuki and Naga armed groups that continued on Saturday and left a man dead and about 10 houses burned, according to the reports.
On Saturday, suspected militants killed people in Kangpokpi district’s Tapon and Makui villages, and in Kamjong district’s Ningchou village near the Myanmar border, according to Daijiworld.
A man was also shot dead in a vehicle in Ukhrul district, according to the same report.
Accounts of the victims differ between outlets: one report lists six Nagas, two Kukis and a Gorkha farmer, while another says the dead were from the same family, so the breakdown is not verified.
Kuki-Zo organisations held security forces and a Naga armed group responsible for the death of the woman in Chassad, according to Daijiworld.
A Naga civil society body, the Working Committee JTC Manipur, blamed militants for another killing, according to the same report. These are claims by the groups and have not been independently verified.
Officials attributed other attacks to suspected militants and did not name a group, according to Daijiworld.
No fresh incidents were reported in the three districts on Sunday, October 11, according to the reports.
