A report has allegedly come to light that the Kuki National Army, Burma (KNA-B), has allegedly launched an attack on Manipur-based insurgent groups who are allegedly taking shelter at Teijang, a Kuki village in Myanmar. The incident allegedly began early on January 1, 2026.
Teijang is allegedly a village located under the Myothit sub-division in Sagaing province. It is allegedly around 25 kilometres north of Tamu town, which is allegedly the district headquarters. The village is allegedly only about one kilometre from the Indo-Myanmar border.
According to reports, villagers from Teijang had allegedly fled the area in 2024 to allegedly save their lives. Since then, the village has allegedly been occupied by Meitei-based separatist insurgent groups from Manipur. 
These allegedly include the Manipur People’s Army (MPA), the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), and the United National Liberation Army (UNLF). All of these groups allegedly belong to the Meitei ethnic community. The groups are allegedly believed to have backing from China and the Myanmar military.
In addition to these groups, reports allegedly say that members of the Myanmar military-linked proxy group Pyu Saw Thee (PST) are also allegedly present in the village. The Manipur-based Naga insurgent group NSCN-IM is also allegedly said to be present there.
