Suspected ULFA militants today attacked Kakopathar police station in upper Assam's Tinsukia district with rocket launcher and automatic weapons, a senior police official said.
A group of about five militants came in army uniform and fired at the police station from outside at around 7.30 PM, district Superintendent of Police Mukdhajyoti Mahanta said.
The militants did not enter the police station and there was no casualty or injury.
After the militants fled, an unexploded rocket propelled grenade was found near the spot, Mahanta said.
The SP with additional police personnel rushed to Kakopathar, about 25 km away from district headquarters Tinsukia, and begun investigations there.
Unconfirmed reports claimed that the group comprised ULFA(I) and NSCN(K) militants.
