The face-off started in the morning at a forest in the southern part of Bijapur when a team of District Reserve Guard (DRG) was out on an anti-Naxalite operation.
Of the injured personnel, 10 belong to the District Reserve Guard (DRG), a unit of the state police, while one was from the Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA - an elite unit of the CRPF).
The latest exchange of fire occurred in the morning in the forested hills of the district's north-western region, where a joint team of security forces has been conducting an anti-Naxalite operation.
As the search operation remains underway, further operational details were not shared due to the safety concerns of the personnel engaged in the anti-Maoist campaign on the ground.
Following the setting up of the camp, intensified anti-Naxal operations, sustained pressure and continuous search operations significantly curtailed Maoist activities in the region.
