Imphal: The Kuki National Army-Burma claims it has zero footprint in India. It denies operating on Indian soil entirely. In an official statement dated October 12, 2026, the group blamed the Manipur government and security agencies for using them as a convenient scapegoat. They claim officials are shifting the heat to hide their own failures in keeping the peace.
The Kuki National Organisation, which functions as the Government of Kuki State General Headquarters, insisted that KNA-B military efforts stop at the Myanmar border. They fight for democracy there. The group flatly rejected recent intelligence reports claiming two of their cadres died in the border district of Kamjong. They called these reports fabricated.
The group maintains it has no ties to Kuki armed factions inside India. They argued that sharing ethnic bloodlines across the border does not equal cross-border militancy. The KNA-B compared their situation to the historical factional conflicts of the NSCN-IM. They added: "Kuki communities in India have legitimate democratic avenues to raise their grievances and are pursuing political negotiations to resolve the ongoing ethnic conflict in Manipur."
Indian security forces are currently keeping a close watch on the porous Indo-Myanmar border. Tensions remain high in the region. Armed groups continue to define the volatile security situation across several border districts.
