A jawan of the Border Security Force was injured when an improvised explosive device (IED) planted by Naxalites exploded while his team was trying to defuse it in Chhattisgarh’s Kanker district on Sunday, police said.

The blast occurred around 9.30 am on the Hetarkasa village road near Panidobir camp, where a team of security personnel was out on an area domination operation, Kanker Superintendent of Police Indira Kalyan Elesela said.

The SP said the injured jawan was administered preliminary treatment and was being shifted to a hospital for further medical attention.
