On March 26, 2026, three personnel of the Assam Rifles (AR) were reportedly killed in an attack by militants belonging to the Yung Aung faction of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland–Khaplang (NSCN-K-YA) along the Namgoi–Pangsau Road near the Indo-Myanmar border in the Changlang District of Arunachal Pradesh. According to reports, militants targeted a construction team of the 10th Assam Rifles that was engaged in building a border fence in the area.
In a subsequent statement, the ‘Ministry of Information and Publicity’ (MIP) of NSCN-K-YA claimed responsibility, asserting that its ‘Naga Army Tactical Unit’ carried out the attack in response to protests by Naga groups against what it described as the “illegal” fencing of the Indo-Myanmar boundary by the Government of India (GoI). The group warned that any continuation of such construction would invite resistance from Naga groups operating on both sides of the border. The incident highlights the continuing volatility of the Tirap-Changlang-Longding (TCL) region and the sensitivity of infrastructure development projects in insurgency-affected border areas.
