Four persons, including three non-Manipuri labourers, were injured when two bombs exploded in separate areas in Manipur on Thursday, official sources said.
Two non-Manipuri labourers were injured at Ukhrul town bordering Myanmar when a powerful bomb exploded on Thursday afternoon, the sources said.
The bomb, planted by suspected militants in a shop exploded around 2.30 pm, destroying a Maruti van parked nearby.
In another incident, a powerful bomb set off by suspected militants injured another two, including a non-Manipuri labourer, they said.
No individual or group has claimed responsibility for the blasts.
Unidentified militants have been targeting non-Manipuri labourers for some years to drive them away from the state as their numbers are rapidly increasing, sources said.
So far around 58 non-Manipuri labourers have been killed in the state in the past two years by unidentified militants.
