Few jawans were reportedly injured in the incident.
The incident occurred at around 2.30 pm.
A security source was quoted as saying by The Times of India, "A group of 18 jawans of 23rd Assam Rifles was travelling in a truck to fetch water from a stream near Changlangsu village at around 2.30 pm when they were ambushed upon by militants, who we suspect are NSCN (K) cadres. Three jawans died instantly and reinforcements were rushed in immediately. There was retaliatory firing from Assam Rifles and reports received so far say that eight jawans and a militant have died.
