Raipur: A day after a Naxal IED blast killed a CoBRA officer and injured nine commandos in Chhattisgarh's Sukma district, security forces uncovered two such devices planted by ultras in Dantewada on Sunday, an official said.
The IEDs, each weighing 5 kilograms, were unearthed from beneath a road between Dhanikarka and Surnaar villages under Kuakonda police station limits, Dantewada Superintendent of Police Abhishek Pallava told to the news agency.
'Acting on specific inputs provided by villagers, a team of the District Reserve Guard (DRG), the state's anti- Naxal force, launched an operation on the route that goes through dense forest.
