Five CRPF commandos were injured in a Chhattisgarh clash with Naxals during a search operation. One jawan suffered a bullet injury, and others had minor wounds. Earlier, a tragedy was averted when security forces discovered and defused two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in Dantewada. The 5kg and 3kg IEDs were strategically placed on dirt tracks to target patrolling security personnel. The successful defusal highlights the ongoing security challenges in Naxal-affected regions, emphasizing the crucial role of timely intervention and intelligence-based operations.
