The victims, including two women, died on the spot after armed rebels opened fire on two vehicles in the New Haven area.
Four people, including two women, were killed on Friday afternoon when suspected militants fired at two cars in Manipur's Ukhrul district, according to Telangana Today and The Hindu.
The incident took place in the New Haven area on the Imphal-Dimapur National Highway (NH-2) under the jurisdiction of Litan Police Station.
A senior police officer said that two men and two women travelling in the two vehicles died on the spot, noting that bullet marks were found on the windshields of both cars.
Local media reports stated that the victims belonged to the Naga community, while the ambush was allegedly carried out by Kuki militants.
The attack occurred a day after a 42-year-old Kuki woman, identified as Kimneineng Chongloi, was shot dead and two others were injured during a gunfight between rival groups near Taphou Kuki village.
Following that gunfight, the Kangpokpi-based Committee on Tribal Unity (COTU) called for a 48-hour shutdown from midnight on November 12, which partially affected normal life in the Kangpokpi district on Friday.
