India Nov 09, 2025

A CRPF jawan was hurt on Sunday after accidentally triggering an IED during a security patrol in Sukma, Chhattisgarh.
The blast happened around 1:45pm in the hilly forests near Gogunda, where Naxalites had planted the explosive.

Jawan suffers leg injuries

The jawan suffered leg injuries and was quickly flown to Raipur for treatment.
This incident is a reminder of the constant dangers faced by security forces in Bastar, where Naxalites often target patrols with hidden explosives.
Just earlier this year, a similar blast in Sukma claimed an officer's life and injured others—showing how tough things remain for those on duty in the region.
