New Delhi/IBNS: Twelve Maoists were killed in a six-hour-long operation in Maharashtra's Gadchiroli district on Wednesday.

The Maharashtra Police launched a massive op from Gadchiroli around 10 am after being tipped off about the presence of nearly 15 Maoists camping near the Vandoli village close to the Chhattisgarh border.

Seven C-60 parties of the police, led by the Deputy SP, went in for the anti-Maoist operation into the dense forests.

A heavy exchange of fire began in the afternoon and continued intermittently till late evening for over six hours.
