CRPF Jawan Injured in Maoist IED Blast in Sukma, Chhattisgarh

Sukma, Chhattisgarh – November 9, 2025, 5:06 PM IST – A Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawan was injured in Sukma district, Chhattisgarh, on Sunday afternoon when a pressure-activated Improvised Explosive Device (IED), planted by Maoist insurgents, detonated.

The incident occurred around 1:45 PM near Gogunda, within the Fulbagdi police station area, as a CRPF team from the 74th battalion conducted an area domination operation. The jawan inadvertently stepped on the IED, triggering an explosion that caused injuries to his legs.

Following initial medical treatment at the scene, the injured jawan is being airlifted to Raipur for advanced medical care.

Maoists frequently employ IEDs along roads and trails in the Bastar region, which includes Sukma, to target security forces during patrols. Civilians have also been victims of these booby traps in the past.

This incident follows a similar event on June 9th, 2025, when Additional Superintendent of Police Akash Rao Girepunje was killed, and two other officers were injured by a Maoist-planted IED at a stone quarry in Sukma.
