Four Assam police commandos were injured in an extremist attack in eastern Assam’s Tinsukia district early Sunday (March 22, 2026) morning. The United Liberation Front of Assam (Independent) claimed responsibility for the attack. The ULFA(I) said that Operation Bujoni was carried out in retaliation for the police’s repeated action against the banned outfit, and alleged drone attacks by the Army on its camps last year. It asked the State police force to “refrain from subversive activities” against the outfit, warning of retaliatory action. Jagun is less than 50 km from the nearest point of Arunachal Pradesh’s border with Myanmar, where the ULFA(I) has its camps.
