Maoists killed another soldier at Gunjanagar in Chitwan Thursday, local officials said. Rebels shot dead Akash Kumar Mahato after dragging his out of his home. Security forces have launched a manhunt for the rebels.

Maoists have targeted soldiers in their attacks to demoralize them. The army took on the Maoists waging a war to establish a communist in November.
