Nine people, including eight security personnel and a driver, were killed after Naxalites detonated an IED on the Bedre-Kutru Road in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur. The attack targeted two vehicles carrying soldiers returning from an anti-Naxal operation. Visuals showed devastating scenes, including dismembered bodies. Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai condemned the "cowardly attack" and reaffirmed plans to eradicate Naxalism by 2026. Deputy CM Arun Sao and other officials assured that the personnel's sacrifice will not be in vain, pledging intensified action against Naxal groups. The incident follows recent encounters in the Bastar region, where multiple Naxalites were killed.
