A trooper was killed when armed Maoists launched a brazen attack on a BSF camp in Chhattisgarh\'s restive Bastar region -- the second terror strike on security personnel within two days.

CPI (Maoists) attacked a BSF team killing a jawan in Chhattisgarh's insurgency-hit Kanker district, striking for the third time since Saturday.


A group of ultras opened indiscriminate firing on security personnel who were carrying out patrolling in the proximity of Chhote Baithiya BSF camp under Bande police station area late last night.

Kanker Superintendent of Police Jitendra Singh Meena told a gun battle erupted between security forces and ultras and the rebels soon fled to the core forests. "A BSF head constable succumbed to bullet injuries while being taken to a local hospital," the SP said, adding that reinforcements were rushed to the spot and a massive combing operation was launched in the region to nab the assailants.

Seven STF personnel were killed and 10 others injured on Saturday when Naxals ambushed them in the forests of restive Pidmel village under Polampalli, around 450 kms from state capital Raipur. On Sunday they allegedly set ablaze at least 17 vehicles engaged in mining work in Kanker district.
