One more soldier died in Saturday’s ambush on a military convoy in Arunachal Pradesh on Sunday, taking the death toll in the incident to two.

The Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang is believed to have been behind the attack.

One soldier died on Saturday. Eight more are wounded.

It was the third attack on security personnel in the area close to the border in the past 15 days. On November 19, a combined team of the NSCN-K and the United Liberation Front of Assam had carried out an ambush on Army personnel in Tinsukia district, killing three soldiers. 

On November 26, the United National Liberation Front of Western South East Asia ambushed a group of 21 Para commandos in Manipur, injuring five.  — Agencies
