AT least seven policemen have been killed in a landmine blast triggered by Maoist rebels in eastern India.
The insurgents targeted a police vehicle that was on patrol in Bihar state's Aurangabad district, 130km south of the state capital Patna. The district is a known rebel stronghold.
"All policemen from the Tandwa village, including the area's police officer-in-charge, were killed in the attack," senior police official Amit Kumar said on Tuesday.
Kumar said police had rushed reinforcements and were conducting search operations to track the assailants.
Maoist rebels are active in more than one-third of India's 626 administrative districts and usually target security personnel and government installations.
The Maoists, who reject parliamentary democracy, say their armed rebellion is to secure the rights of the poor and marginalised.
More than 6000 people, including civilians, militants and security personnel, have been killed in Maoist-related violence in India since 2005.
