Fifteen security personnel and their driver have been killed in Maharashtra's Gadchiroli after a powerful explosion, set off by Maoists, blew up their vehicle. An improvised explosive device (IED) blast was triggered on a police vehicle in the Maoist-affected district that borders Chhattisgarh. Prime Minister Narendra Modi termed the attack "despicable" and said that the "perpetrators of such violence will not be spared".
