Two soldiers of the Assam Rifles were killed and two others injured on Sunday when militants ambushed a convoy near Jairampur on the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border, police said.

The security forces, however, launched a counter-insurgency operation immediately in the area and killed two of the militants involved in the ambush.

The attackers belonged to the United Liberation Front of West Eastern South East Asia (UNLFW), a joint platform of most of the northeastern militant outfits, including the anti-talk faction of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), National Socialist Council of Nagaland led by Khaplang (NSCN-K) and Coordination Committee (CorCom) of Manipur.

Assam Director General of Police (DGP) Mukesh Sahay said security forces had launched a counter-insurgency operation against the militants.
