Residents of Senjam Chirang in Manipur were forced to seek refuge in a community hall after drone-dropped bombs injured three villagers and left homes in ruin.
Watham Gambhir, whose family was injured in the attack, recounted the terrifying events as drones targeted their house and a nearby tree where they sought cover.
The recent use of drones in violent ethnic clashes between Meitei and Kuki groups has prompted Chief Minister N Biren Singh to label the incidents as acts of terrorism and has led to restrictions on drone imports in the state.
