Guwahati: The banned insurgent outfit ULFA (Independent) has claimed responsibility for the recent attack on an Assam Police commando camp at Jagun 10 Mile in Tinsukia district, naming the strike “Operation Bujoni.” In a statement released on Sunday, the outfit said the attack was carried out around 2 AM on March 22 by members of its armed wing. It described the incident as a “military action” targeting Assam Police personnel. The group stated that following the 2021 Assam Assembly elections, it had informally decided to refrain from armed activities against Assam Police. However, it alleged that this understanding was violated due to continued operations against its members in the subsequent years.

The statement further accused security forces of involvement in the killing and arrest of several of its cadres between 2021 and 2023, along with alleged harassment of its supporters. It also referred to a reported drone and missile strike in July 2025 under the Unified Command Structure, which it claimed resulted in the deaths of its senior leaders.
According to the outfit, the latest attack was intended as a warning, urging security forces to halt actions against its members and sympathisers. While stating that it does not hold personal hostility towards Assam Police personnel, the group cautioned that continued operations could lead to further escalation. Meanwhile, security forces have intensified operations in the region, and an investigation into the incident is currently underway.
