Troopers from the 73rd Infantry Battalion, a field unit of the Compostela Valley-based 10th Infantry Division, successfully captured a New People's Army (NPA) camp in Malita town, Davao del Sur Friday.
Also bagged in the military operation which took place at 10:45 a.m. was a rebel fighter, unit spokesperson 1st Lt. Ernesto Carolina said.
The captured rebel was identified as Rodane Antiodo, alleged leader of the NPA's Front 75.
Prior to this, 73rd Infantry Battalion troopers engaged members of the NPA Front 75 in a 20-minute firefight.
The NPAs quickly fled, leaving behind an AK-47 automatic rifle and ammunition, a rifle grenade, 30 meters of electric wire, two sacks of rice and personal items.
Pursuit operations are still ongoing.
