The central government has approved the use of anti-drone medium machine guns in Manipur for the first time. The decision has been taken following two drone attacks in the state between September 1-3. Terrorists carried out a drone attack in Sejam Chirang village of Manipur's Imphal district on the evening of September 3. In which 3 people including a woman were injured. On September 1, a drone attack was also carried out in Sejam Chirang village. In which two were killed and 9 were injured.

The Manipur government constituted a high-level committee to investigate these drone attacks. Police DG said – 198 companies of security forces from the center are present in the hilly areas, Director General of Police Rajiv Singh said that this drone attack is a new incident.
