The security forces did not suffer any casualty in the encounter.
This is suspected to be a Naxal ambush for security forces. Maoists fired multiple rounds while attacking the vehicle-mounted team, the official said.
Two Naxals were also gunned down in these face-offs.
Avenging the Sukma attack, security forces claim to have gunned down 12-15 Maoists in Chhattisgarh's Basaguda-Chintalnar area on Sunday.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly condemned the attack.
