In a clash with a joint police team in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district on Tuesday, nine Naxals were killed, and there are fears that several others might be injured.

Police Superintendent Jitendra Kumar Yadav confirmed the encounter, stating that modern weapons were recovered from the site.

Meanwhile, police sources confirmed the deaths of nine Naxals, with the possibility of the number increasing.
