The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres blew up an Anti-Landmine Vehicle of the Chhattisgarh Police, killing five personnel in Dantewada district on April 13, reports The Hindu. “Maoists targeted an Anti-Landmine Vehicle which was on a search operation near Khudiyapara village of Dantewada around 2.30 p.m. on Monday. The vehicle was carrying 12 jawans [troopers] of the CAF (Chhattisgarh Armed Force) and the district police, including the driver. Dantewada SP reached the spot immediately after the encounter and rushed the injured jawans to Kirandul hospital. However, four jawans died in the hospital,” said a statement issued by the Chhattisgarh police headquarters in Raipur. Another jawan succumbed to injuries while being taken to Jagdalpur for treatment, taking the toll to five. Seven jawans were injured, an officer posted in Bastar said. The Times of India reports that Dantewada District Superintendent of Police (SP) Kamal Lochan Kashyap said, "Guerrillas triggered a powerful blast near a culvert, targeting the mine-protected vehicle. Rebels used 100 kg of explosives. Magnitude of explosion was so intense that the 50-tonne anti-landmine vehicle was tossed in the air and fell upside down." The blast left an 18-foot deep crater on the ground and rifles, guns and explosives lay strewn around. It seemed the trap was laid afresh as connecting wire that connected explosives at a distance of 150 metres looked new. "After the blast, Maoists resorted to indiscriminate firing to inflict heavy casualties on security forces," he said. Explosions and subsequent gunshots alerted security forces at nearby Cholnar camp, who rushed to the site.

On June 9, Indian Army's surgical strike deep inside Myanmar, bordering Manipur, lasted for about 45 minutes and over 100 northeast militants may have been killed in the operation, stated a source from Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA), reports The Times of India. Six injured rebels are admitted in a hospital. Myanmar has since cordoned off the area where Indian Army undertook operations against northeast insurgents. On Nagaland border too, Army's Special Forces pursued militants into Myanmar and killed 15 insurgents. Indian Air Force choppers and drones assisted the Special Forces. Army's Additional Director General of Military Operations, Major General Ranbir Singh, stated, “Based on these intelligence reports we conducted operations ... we conducted operations in the morning and significant casualties (of militants) have been reported. Today morning, two separate groups were engaged near the India-Myanmar border and along the Nagaland-Manipur border”, reports The Times of India. While he said the operation was carried out "along the Indo-Myanmar border at two locations, along the Nagaland and Manipur borders", PTI quoting sources reported the strike was carried out inside Myanmar with the coordination of local authorities. Technical intercepts and reconnaissance missions confirmed the presence of the militants in the two camps, which was kept under surveillance by Air Force Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) for hours and later Indian Air Force helicopters dropped Para Commandos inside Myanmar late on June 8. The Telegraph reports on June 9 that according to a source in the security establishment, at least one raid was carried out in Onzia inside Myanmar. Indian Express further adds that while the Army’s statement said that the operations were at two locations along the Indo-Myanmar border in Manipur and Nagaland, sources said Special Forces had gone across the border and were in “constant communication with Myanmar authorities”. Sources said the operations were conducted by 21 Special Forces (Para), along with troops of 27 Sector and 10 Sector of Assam Rifles (AR). 27 Sector is headquartered at Pallel in Chandel district while 10 Sector is headquartered at Ukhrul and its area of responsibility stretches to the Myanmar border in Nagaland. The operations are being led by IG Assam Rifles (South), Major General Rajeev Chopra. According to sources Operation is believed to have been going on for about 48 hours and parts of it is still ongoing. Union Minister of state for information and broadcasting Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore stated that it was a cross border operation The Times of India reports that the operation, conceived as retaliation for June 4 ambush, had begun at 3am. The troops were guided to two camps of NSCN-K and allied insurgent groups by intelligence which was gathered by operatives who crossed over into Myanmar a couple of days ago and returned with precise co-ordinates of the terror dens along with photographs. India had an agreement with Myanmar to allow troops to enter each other's territory in search of terrorists, but with consent. However, for the June 9 Operation, Government not inform Myanmar in advance fearing possible leak of information, given the close contact NSCN-K has with middle and lower level of Myanmar Army. NSCN-K has a total strength of 1500, out of which 1000 are in Myanmar, reports The Times of India on June 9.
