Still in war with allies
Police in the north-eastern Indian state of Assam say six people have died in attacks by separatist rebels against migrant workers.
A police official told the Associated Press news agency the United Liberation Front of Assam (Ulfa) had said it carried out Tuesday night's attacks.
Seventy Hindi-speaking migrants were killed in Assam in January.
Ulfa is fighting one of India's longest running insurgencies to establish an independent homeland in Assam.
The rebels say India's central government exploits the state's rich resources, such as tea and natural gas, and does little for its people who are ethnically closer to Burma and China than to India.
The police said the armed rebels attacked migrant workers in Belbari village and the neighbouring district of Sivasagar in two separate attacks.
Thousands of Hindi-speaking migrants had fled the state after the first wave of attacks in January.
