Suspected militants fired upon Assam Rifles jawans in Nagaland’s Noklak district early Tuesday, according to a senior official.

A firing incident between suspected militants and Assam Rifles personnel took place at Dan Pangsha area which is located along the Indo-Myanmar border, Deputy Commissioner of Noklak district Hiazu Meru said.

No casualty has been reported in the incident so far.

“So far there is no report of any casualty in the incident. The area is a very remote area and mobile network connectivity problems are also there,” Meru said.
