ITANAGAR, June 9 � Two NSCN(K) cadres, including a Myanmar national, were killed while another was seriously injured in an IED blast at Romantic Point, 8 km from Wakka town, in Londing district bordering Myanmar, today.

Three cadres of the outfit were planting the IEDs when the incident took place at around 3 am, a spokesman at the State police headquarters said here.

�The cadres had already planted two IEDs and when they were trying to plant the third one, it went off,� Kanubari MLA Ganriel D Wangsu informed when contacted.

The site of the blast at Longding-Wakka road, the sources said adding, the road is in a hilly terrain.
