There was a major attack on security forces in the early hours of Sunday (22 March) in Tinsukia district of Assam, in which the Commando Battalion Camp of Assam Police was targeted. Four soldiers have been injured in this attack. In the preliminary investigation, involvement of ULFA-I militants is being suspected behind this attack.
According to the information, the attack took place at around 2:00 in the morning on the camp located in 10 Mile area of Jagun. The attackers fired five rocket-propelled grenades (RPG) at the camp, four of which exploded. The loud explosions created chaos in the area, after which there was heavy firing between the security forces and the attackers for about 20 minutes. Security forces immediately retaliated, but the attackers took advantage of the darkness and fled from the spot. After the incident, the entire area has been cordoned off and a search operation has been started.
According to Assam Police, out of the four injured soldiers, three have suffered minor injuries, while the condition of one is said to be critical. All the injured have been admitted to the nearest hospital, where their treatment is ongoing and the situation is being constantly monitored.
Assam Police say, “At least four Assam police personnel were injured following an attack carried out by suspected militants of ULFA (I) in Assam’s Tinsukia district. The incident took place at Jagun area in Tinsukia district at around 2 am on Sunday.”

Although no organization has so far claimed responsibility for the attack, security agencies believe that ULFA-I militants may be behind it. The sophisticated weapons used in the attack and the organization’s activity in this area strengthen this apprehension. It is said that this organization also has contacts with Myanmar.
This incident has happened at a time when security arrangements have already been tightened in connection with the 2026 assembly elections in Assam. In such a situation, this attack is also being seen as an attempt to influence the election environment.
After the attack, the administration has issued a high alert in Tinsukia district and interstate borders. Security forces have started extensive search and cordon operations and patrolling has been increased. Additionally, recent incidents of alleged extortion from local businessmen have also come under investigation, leading to possible links to the attack.
