Two villagers in Manipur's Churachandpur district were killed in cross-fire when militants ambushed security personnel near the international border on Saturday, police said.
The militants also kidnapped four workers from the spot in Behang, a tribal village.
The security personnel were escorting a water tanker for the camp. The militants opened fire at the security personnel who retaliated. The two tribal villagers were strolling there when they were caught in the cross-fire.
Additional forces have been rushed from the district headquarters. However there is no report of any arrest so far.
Police said that one IED had been exploded there on Friday. However there was no casualty.
