Six injured in Chhattisgarh blast

    Five security personnel and a civilian were injured in an explosion in India’s Chhattisgarh state.

    Hindustan Times reports that the attack came from Maoist militants, who used an Improvised Explosive Device to blow up a truck around 7km from Bijapur town.

    The incident is the latest in a spate of attacks in the state. Four civilians and a soldier were killed in a blast last week a day before Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited to campaign for local elections.
