The government of Manipur state in India has announced the closure of schools today, Saturday, following a missile attack carried out by rebels believed to be from the Kukis, which resulted in one death and six injuries.

The attack targeted the Bishnupur area, prompting the school closures to ensure the safety of students and teachers.

The region has been experiencing ongoing tensions between the Hindu Meitei community and the Christian Kuki community for over a year, further complicating the situation.
