A reporter of TV5, his cameraman and 6 government troops were hurt in two explosions along a road in Datu Saudi Ampatuan town in Maguindanao on Saturday morning, February 1, the military said.
The military's 6th Infantry Division said the explosions ripped through a military convoy, including an armored personnel carrier, at 8:30 am.
"Okay naman sila," Colonel Dickson Hermoso, spokesman of the division, told Rappler. He however refused to identify the TV5 staff who were hurt.
Hermoso said they are now being treated at the Maguindanao General Hospital.
Sources said the TV5 crew were on their way to cover a flag-raising ceremony in Barangay Danta in Datu Piang town, which was captured by the military from the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF).
The military has launched a week-long offensive against members of the BIFF who are opposed to a peace deal between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.
