Investigations into a destabilization plot reveal advanced technology use and cross-border support from foreign elements.

India's Northeast faces an increasing drone threat from insurgent groups like ULFA and NSCN, targeting key infrastructure, including oil refineries and military bases. The Indian government has invested in the region since 2014, but external elements are reviving insurgency.
Drones launched from Myanmar are now a concern for security agencies, with these groups capable of precision strikes. Recent arrests of foreign nationals involved in equipping and training these insurgents have revealed plans to disrupt infrastructure and development, with targets including ONGC oilfields and hydroelectric projects in Manipur and Mizoram. Investigations by the National Investigation Agency continue to uncover the extent of this threat.
