SOURCE(S)	CLASS./CONTROL(S)
Reuters June 8	Unclass. A number of Indian troops and several Nagas were killed in fierce fighting near the Nagaland capital of Kohima on 7 June, the Indian defense ministry reported.
	24 Nagas were captured along with Chinese weapons, large amounts of ammunition, documents and photographs Nagas in Chinese uniforms with Chinese instructors.
	An unconfirmed report stated over 200 Nagas and Indian soldiers were killed or wounded.
	Nagaland state cabinet held urgent session June 9.
INR/na Comment:	LOU We had a similar report (200 killed) two weeks ago (May 28). Over 1,000 Nagas are reported to have gone to China last year for training, transiting Burma. Indian officials have ordered the Burma-India border sealed, but that is an impossibility.
	A two-month extension of the cease-fire agreed to by the Indian Govt is due to expire July 1, but the agreement is already a sham since the Nagas are themselves divided into factions—some opposed to the cease-fire.
