From the Philippine News Agency (Jan 23): 3 NPA rebels killed, 3 soldiers wounded
in Zambo Sur clash
Three New People’s Army (NPA) rebels were killed while three soldiers were
wounded in a clash Wednesday in the hinterlands of Zamboanga del Sur, a military
official disclosed Wednesday.
Western Mindanao Command (Wesmincom) spokesman Col. Rodrigo Gregorio said the
soldiers were conducting security patrol when they clashed with a group of NPA
rebels around 2:45 p.m. Wednesday in Barangay Mate, Tigbao, Zamboanga del Sur.
Gregorio said the NPA rebels fled as they were outmaneuvered by the troops,
leaving behind their three slain comrades.
Their remains were turned over to the local government officials for
identification and eventual turnover to their families, he said.
Gregorio said the troops have recovered three high-powered firearms from the
possession of the slain rebels.
He did not identify the wounded soldiers except in saying they belong to the
14th Scout Ranger Company of the Army’s 4th Scout Ranger Battalion.
