“Videos show Kuki tribes using drones and firearms to launch attacks on Meiteis”
What FACTLY found
Both viral videos do not show Kuki people using gunfire to attack the Meiteis. The first video show visuals of guerilla warfare in Myanmar. The second video contains visuals from two separate videos; one is from a 2019 documentary about the Myanmar civil war, and the second one is from a video that allegedly shows the involvement of state police commandos in attacking tribal villages in Manipur
