At least six Maoists were killed in a gunbattle with police near the border of Telangana's Khammam district and neighbouring Chhattisgarh state in the early hours of Tuesday, police said.
The exchange of fire took place between a team of Greyhounds -- Telangana's anti-Naxal force -- and the rebels in a forest area bordering Chhattisgarh, a senior Intelligence official from Telangana Police told PTI.
"At least six Maoists were killed in the encounter with police on Khammam-Chattisgarh border in wee hours today," he said.
Eight weapons have been recovered from the site, he said.
Combing operation is on in the forest area, he added.
