Two Border Security Force (BSF) jawans were killed in an IED blast outside their camp in Manipur today, a senior official said.
He said the blast triggered by an improvised explosive device (IED) occurred at about 2 pm, when the BSF men were deployed just outside the gate of their Koirengi sector headquarters camp, on the Dimapur-Imphal highway here.
The two jawans, both of constable rank, received splinter injuries in the blast and later succumbed, the official said.
The IED was suspected to have been planted by insurgents active in the area, he added.
