The Bailey bridge across the Namban River — which connects Kamjong to Sahamphung subdivision via Chatric Khullen and Chatric Khunou — was demolished in a powerful explosion on the intervening night of 21–22 July 2026.
The attack appeared to have stemmed from a sharp rift between the Kuki National Front-Presidential group (KNF-P) and the KNA-B over territorial dominance along the international border.
Instead of neutralising the source of aggression, some security personnel allegedly discharged live ammunition toward Naga civilians undertaking community defence of their homes.
