exclusive footage coming in from Manipur shows the scale of uh the use of rocket propelled grenades in fact this time it's not a grenade it seems like uh almost like a missile being used uh these are exclusive pictures of insurgents in Manipur using those missiles and uh those catapults to throw those missiles into Villages and uh these are exclusive pictures we are attributing them to Manipur police in fact so these are authenticated and these are dangerous weapons in the hands of uh Manipur insurgents not we're not mentioning which side is using that of course the police knows which side is using those uh catapults and uh improvised missile launchers so to say uh we have seen over the last one week see the missile see the scale it's almost like a 4 or 5 ft long rocket that has been thrown into the Valley from a Hilltop these insurgents are using the Vantage oh [Music] clearly yeah you have to you have to you have to play this picture again to understand how big the Strife has become it's not just uh civilist Strife with B this is clearly taken the shape of uh Warfare with drones and missile launchers being used improvised missile launchers being used uh and we will have to understand possibly who could be using this who could be sending these weapons and who are the targets I'm told an the Baka joins us live from infal in fact he's the one reporting for the last one week from the ground in inall and uh manip and uh anud I believe you have sourced this and uh please tell us who are these insurgents possibly which is from which location these pictures are coming from and uh who were the targets of this missile attack seems like a very improvised missile launcher and uh is this the first time that this scale of weaponary is being used yes uh yes I definitely this is a major concern now it has turned out to be a national security concern in fact as improvised weapons are being used by the insurgents in uh Manipur and as we report today from the moirang area we were in fact hardly 300 M away uh from the second spot where the rocket landed at the uh at the former residence of the ancestral residence of the first C min sister of Manipur M Kang Singh and uh this uh this this rocket uh landed in the campus of his ancestral house which now houses the office of the uh of the M coing uh Memorial trust and uh and the impact crater was around more than 5 ft uh radius the more than 5T diameter uh was that of the impact crater and it had it had the splinters splinters caused massive damage to the nearby building and also a wall was completely damed in fact one person uh was hit fatally by a sprinter that went out from the uh rocket uh which was launched at the moirang in the afternoon today at around 3:30 and we were hardly 300 M away from that spot at that point in time and uh and we have got also exclusively got access to this visuals that we are showing from the foothill areas when this uh when this Rockets were fired this Rockets uh the length of the Rockets are at least 9 to 10 ft long with a capacity of carrying explosive to the tune of at least 20 to 25 kilg in some cases they might also carry explosive to the tune of 30 uh kilogram Prim we have also talked with the forensic team which arrived they didn't wanted to come on record as of now because it is too early to comment but Prime they have also informed us that looking at the explosive the nature of the explosion and the impact it seems that potassium nitrate has been used in this explosion inside the rocket uh Rockets these Rockets are made indigenously let me tell you these are not factorymade Rockets these are made indigenously by the underground militants in the hills in the hill areas suspected to be uh cookie underground militants they have they have indigenously developed this rocket with the by using uh steel water pipes water pipes were being used in in order to manufacture these rockets in in the in their camps which are located mostly in the foothill areas and the once these both these Rockets were fired from a distance of the first rocket was fired in back from a distance of around 4 to uh uh 5 kilom and the second rocket was also fired from a distance of around 5 to 6 kilomet and what is more concerning in this area is that this area is also the it is where the valley Begins the Lo L begins here and when you come to impal when you when when the flight that comes to infal before before uh before making the final Landing at the infall airport all the flights fly at a very low flying Zone in this area and with with such Rockets high range Rockets being fired in this area it is a me safety concern now and also let me uh tell you a fact of that the the second rocket landed hardly three 300 me these are dangerous portent and you rightly mentioned that this could prove dangerous for even civilian flights in fact it seems that there are elements who are helping these insurgents improvise weapons to a level that Rockets can be converted into missiles of this scale anud mentioned going up to 8 or 9ine or even 10 ft long carrying explosives of the order of 20 to 30 kg and uh earlier we have seen the use of drones very sophisticated Hightech drones to deliver explosives and grenades
