Guwahati, Oct 10 (IBNS): An Indian army camp suffered heavy casualties when a group of armed men from the Naga NSCN-K outfit attacked it in Arunachal Pradesh’s Longding district on Tuesday.

Reportedly, a 70-member group of NSCN-K attacked the camp near Nyausau in Longding district at around 1 am, and the assault continued until 9am

While the Naga outfit has claimed that more than 40 Indian soldiers were killed, the Indian Army has denied any loss of lives of Indian security personnel.

Kohima based Defence PRO Colonel Chiranjeet Konwer said, at around 1-15 am last night Niausa COB was fired upon by under ground (UGs) cadres.

"Just 5 to 10 rounds of ineffective small arms fire and a Lathode grenade were fired upon the post. Own alert sentries retaliated forcing the UGs to run away. The fire had to be controlled keeping in safety of the villagers in vicinity. There were no casualties and no damage to property of COB. Operations are underway against fleeing cadres. All reports being circulated on social media by these UG gps are towards creating a sensationalism and are baseless and false," the Defence PRO said.

NSCN-K deputy army chief Col. Isak Sumi, MIP, NSCN/GPRN claimed that in a well orchestrated offensive against Indian Army, the combined operation command of Naga Army consisting of selected fighters and specialists from various mobile units, demolition units and GHQ, numbering around 70 cadres, commanded by an experienced, senior officer launched an all out attack on the India army camp located at Nyausau, Longding, Arunachal Pradesh at 1 am.

"The Indian Army were caught totally off guard and in for a surprise. There was no injury sustained or casualties on our side and our Army are now back to safe area," Isak Sumi said.

.
It was a failed attack. No Indian personal was killed. However, now NSCN has to brace for counter attack even if means going into Mynamar or Bangadesh.

so there wont be any news of a chopper crash or soldier's suicide ?
