8 Naxalites were killed in an encounter with security forces in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district on Saturday. The gunfight started around 8:30 am in the Gangaloor forest during an anti-Naxalite operation. Security personnel launched the operation on Friday after receiving intelligence about Maoist activity in the area. The District Reserve Guard (DRG), Special Task Force (STF), and CRPF’s CoBRA unit took part in the mission. Intermittent firing continued throughout the morning. Patrolling and search operations are still ongoing to ensure safety and gather more details. More information is expected as the operation continues.
