NEW DELHI - A bomb blast in India has killed at least four soldiers, Indian media has reported.
Four personnel of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) were killed and two injured after Naxals blew up a mine-protected-vehicle (MPV) in poll-bound Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district Saturday, police said, PTI has reported.
The incident occurred around 4 pm near Murdanda camp of the CRPF under Awapalli police station, when its 168th battalion was out on "area domination" operation, Bijapur Superintendent of Police Mohit Garg told PTI.
When the MPV carrying six personnel was around one km away from the camp, ultras triggered a powerful land mine blast, he said. "Four paramilitary personnel were killed and two others were injured in the blast," he said.
