On Friday, police in Chhattisgarh's Kondagaon district discovered six pressure cooker bombs planted by Naxalites in the Dhanora Mandgaon area. The IEDs included three weighing 4 kg each and three weighing 3 kg each. These explosives were strategically placed with the intent to target security forces during their routine patrols in a region known for Naxalite activity. Fortunately, the police's vigilance led to the detection of these devices before any harm could occur.
