Two C60 commandos sustained minor injuries when Naxals detonated an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in the Dhodraj forest area of Gadchiroli district on Saturday, a report said.
According to the report, the C60 personnel were returning from a mission in Dhodraj when the Naxals detonated an iron claymore near the Dhodraj-Bhamragarh bridge. The C60 troopers were conducting a search operation on the road at the time. Two personnel sustained minor injuries to their hands. The vigilance of the jawans successfully thwarted the Naxalites’ larger plan.
The wounded C60 personnel were taken to a hospital and are reported to be out of danger. Further search operations are underway in the area. More details are awaited.
