The attack bore signs of a complex, well-planned ambush, with one sub-group of security elements being drawn into the Maoist kill zone by sporadic fire where they were picked off by insurgents occupying the high ground. Incidents of this kind are far from a novelty in the Maoist hotbed of Bastar; multiple high-casualty attacks have been recorded in and around Sukma in the past decade.
