Border Security Force (BSF) jawans foiled a Maoist attack on their camp at Khudishar village in Giridih district, police said on Monday.

About 20 Maoists started firing from a vantage point at the BSF's make-shift camp on Sunday night, but a strong retaliatory action from the personnel forced the Naxals to retreat, district Superintendent of Police Ravikant Dhan said.
