Around 300 families fled their homes in Pagalungan town in Maguindanao after clashes broke out between fighters of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and followers of a village chieftain Thursday.
The fighting at the boundary of Pagalungan and Pkiti, North Cotabato broke out Thursday morning after men of the MILF’s 108th Base Command, led by Buto Sanday, allegedly strafed the home of Kamed Andao, the chairman of Barangay Bagoenged, Colonel Tony Bulao, spokesman of the 602nd Infantry Brigade, said.
The violence had spread to nearby Barangay Kudal and tension was still high in the area Friday, Bulao said.
Authorities are still trying to find out what triggred the hostilities.
