The sound of gunshots was also heard at the end of the video.As many as 10 personnel and one civilian were killed in the improvised explosive device (IED) blast by Naxalites in Dantewada, Chhattisgarh on Wednesday. The video surfaced pertaining to the attack has gone viral on social media but the source of which is unverified.Speaking to , IG Bastar P Sundarraj said that the jawans were returning to Dantewada when Maoists targeted their vehicle on the Aranpur-Sameli route."During a search operation in Dantewada on Wednesday, 10 District Reserve Guard personnel were killed in an IED blast carried out by Naxalites," Sundarraj said.Detailing the police action over a period of time in the region which he said was earlier much affected by Naxals, the IG said that the forces have achieved success in moving forward in the Naxal stronghold areas."One vehicle was targeted by the Naxals through the IED blast in which 10 DRG personnel and one civilian were killed.

We have moved quite forward in the areas which are believed to be Naxal strongholds," he said.The IG said that the Naxal activity has nearly been controlled in the area through operations where the incident occurred yesterday."It (the incident) is a matter of investigation," he said.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
