A gun battle has erupted between the Kerala police's specialised team Thunderbolt and Maoists in a forest area in northern district of Kannur, the police said on Monday.

The firing was reported from the Karikkottakari police station limits, they said.

"It (firing) is still underway," a police officer told PTI but refrained from providing further information.

An exchange of fire between Thunderbolt and Maoists had taken place in a forest area in Wayanad last week, leading to the arrest of two ultras.
