7 Naxals Killed In Encounter With Security Forces In Chhattisgarh's Narayanpur

At least seven Naxalites were killed in a fierce encounter with security forces in Narayanpur district, Chhattisgarh, on Thursday, according to a senior police official.

The clash occurred around 3 a.m. in the dense forests of south Abujhmaad during an anti-Naxalite operation carried out by a joint team of police and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel. The operation was part of ongoing efforts to counter Naxalite insurgency in the region.

Security forces, including personnel from the District Reserve Guard (DRG) from Narayanpur, Dantewada, Bastar, and Kondagaon districts, alongside CRPF teams, were involved in the operation.

Once the firefight subsided, the bodies of seven Naxalites, all wearing uniforms, were recovered. Authorities have continued search operations in the area to ensure all Naxalite elements are neutralized.
