NPA burns army outpost in Misamis Oriental; 4 killed

From Rappler (Sep 22): NPA burns army outpost in Misamis Oriental; 4 killed

New People's Army (NPA) members attacked government forces in Misamis Oriental on Sunday, September 22, leaving 4 dead and the army outpost burned.

The clash that lasted for an hour happened at 1 a.m. in Barangay Kibanban, Misamis Oriental. One soldier and 3 CAFGUs were killed. Three more CAFGUs were wounded.

Around 60 NPAs attacked the village, according to Capt Christian Uy, chief of the 4th Infantry Battalion Public Affairs Office.

He said civilians were also hogtied by the NPAs.

Uy said the NPAs must have suffered casualties, too, because of the blood stains in the area. "They were able to bring with them their killed or wounded comrades," he said.

He said additional forces have been deployed in the area.
