The encounter, which began early Thursday, marks a major victory for the forces combating left-wing extremism in the Bastar region.
Officials confirmed the recovery of three automatic weapons, including an AK-47, INSAS rifle, and an SLR from the site.
The operation is part of heightened counter-insurgency efforts in response to recent intelligence indicating a surge in Maoist activity along the Odisha-Chhattisgarh border.
Bastar IG Sundarraj P revealed that the operation unfolded in the forests near Dantespuram, Korajuguda, and Nagaram, and involved personnel from the District Reserve Force (DRF) and CRPF units.
"The bodies of 10 Maoist insurgents have been recovered so far. Our forces remain on the ground to ensure complete sanitization of the area," he stated.
Sukma SP Kiran Chavan termed the operation a "landmark success."
