Security forces reported that the attackers employed grenades and automatic firearms, triggering a fierce confrontation that lasted several minutes.

Eyewitnesses described the militants arriving in a vehicle, launching the attack, and quickly retreating into the surrounding forested terrain. No group has formally claimed responsibility, but local intelligence points toward ULFA-Independent militants as the likely perpetrators.
