5 soldiers hurt in Agusan ambush

From Rappler (Aug 8): 5 soldiers hurt in Agusan ambush

At least 5 soldiers were injured in an ambush by communist guerillas in Agusan del Sur on Thursday morning, August 8.

Maj Leo Bongosia, spokesman of the military's 4th Infantry Division, said at least 15 rebels detonated an explosive hitting soldiers who were on patrol in Purok 2, Kauswagan, Loreto town at around 7:15 am.

"An exchange of fire erupted that lasted for about 10 minutes before rebels withdrew," Bongosia said. The wounded soldiers were immediately evacuated for medical treatment.

At least 500 Kauswagan residents evacuated from the town last July 24 and are currently taking sanctuary in Davao City.
