Police reported that they had seized a sizable quantity of explosives believed to have been dumped by Maoists at the Andhra Pradesh-Odisha border.
Superintendent of Police Avinav Sonkar claimed that after receiving a tip, officers in the Koraput district’s Lamataput area recovered 50 kg of explosive codex wire, 100 detonators, and 15 radio sets.
According to him, the explosives are believed to have been dumped by the banned CPI (Maoist) organization’s Andhra-Odisha Border Special Zonal Committee (AOBSZC) in preparation for use against security forces in the future.
