Their condition is stable, and they are recovering well,” said inspector general Sunderraj P.The IEDs went off during the operation launched following inputs about the presence of Maoists in a forested area near the Karegutta hills along the Chhattisgarh-Telangana border.

Three of the personnel sustained serious leg injuries, while three others suffered splinter injuries to their eyes.This year, 20 Maoists have been killed in separate operations in the state. Bijapur accounted for a majority of the anti-Maoist operations in 2024 and 2025 amid heightened counter-insurgency efforts. The Union government has set a March 31, 2026, deadline for ending the Left-wing insurgency.The killing of Maoist chief Nambala Kesava Rao, alias Basavaraju, on May 20 marked the most significant success against the Left-wing insurgency in years.
