A 23-year-old woman was injured after suspected militants launched a fresh bomb attack using a drone in Manipur's Imphal West district on Monday, police said. This is the second drone attack in two days. Monday's place of raid is located around 3 km from Koutruk where two persons were killed and nine others injured in bomb and gun attacks on Sunday.

At least two explosives were dropped from a drone on Monday evening at Senjam Chirang in which the woman was injured, they said.
