Is it true?: No, the video is being shared with a false claim.

• The clip dates back to April and shows visuals of an altercation between locals in Ukhrul, Manipur and the paramilitary force Assam Rifles over a barricade.

How did we find out the truth?: A reverse image search on one part of the video using Google Lens led us to Facebook page called 'Tangkhul Naga Herald' which had shared this video on 25 April 2026.

• Its caption said,"Situation Report. Hoomi Tangkhul Naga Village, Ukhrul , Manipur. Rounds of fire shot at Civilians by Assam Riffles (sic)," indicating that the video was from Manipur, and not Arunachal Pradesh.

• A further keyword search led us to a post by Ukhrul Times, which had shared the same video on its Facebook page.

• The post said that an Assam Rifles convoy "forced its way through the Talui village gate" in Ukhrul, injuring a woman. Some people also reported gunshots in Hoomi village, which reportedly left a man with a neck injury.

• They also shared a link to their report on the incident, women had put up a barricade near Talui, alleging that the convoy drove through it.

• The convoy then proceeded towards Hoomi Vokngayar, where another group of people tried to stop them. However, the convoy fired to disperse the crowd that had gathered.

• The same information was shared on India Today North East's X account, which also said that the convoy left two people injured.

Conclusion: An old video from Manipur is being shared to falsely claim that it shows the Chinese army encroaching upon Indian territory.
