GUWAHATI, India (Reuters) - At least one person died in the past 24 hours during a third straight day of ethnic unrest in the troubled eastern Indian border state of Manipur, a government official said on Monday.
The state of 3.2 million people, which borders Myanmar, has been hit by a fresh spate of violence over the last week, part of long-standing strife between its ethnic Kuki and Meitei communities. The bloodshed has killed at least 250 people and displaced 60,000 people in the region since May last year.
