Security forces have arrested 11 militants from Manipur in the last two days, including seven suspected cadres of the Kuki National Army (KNA), along with arms and ammunition, police said on Sunday.

The KNA cadres were apprehended from old Khaukual area in Churachandpur district on Friday, they said.
