At least 13 persons, including six non-tribals, were killed and many houses gutted in ethnic clashes in Barahaldi village of North Tripura, East India, Sunday, Inspector General of Police Kishore Jha said.
A group of banned national Liberation Front of Tripura insurgents armed with sophisticated weapons raided the village around 0700 hours and opened indiscriminate fire, killing six non-tribals on the spot, Jha said.
Enraged by the incident, a group of non-tribals attacked the tribal-inhabited areas of the village and neighboring areas and killed seven tribals, according to the Press Trust of India. They also set ablaze about 30 houses of the tribals.
