Red fighters from the New People’s Army (NPA) Front 21 in Northeast Mindanao Region (NEMR) confiscated five firearms from the foreign-owned Alston Mining Company in Tubay, Agusan del Norte on April 5. National Democratic Front-NEMR spokesperson Ka Maria Malaya said the operation was conducted to punish the company for landgrabbing and environmental destruction.

The arms haul consisted of two cal .45 pistols, two .38 revolvers and a shotgun. Aside from the firearms, the Red guerrillas also seized a laptop and 16 VHF radios. The NPA burned two back hoes, two bulldozers, three dumptrucks, a motorcycle and the company office.

After this, a soldier from the 3rd Special Forces Battalion was killed in a sniping operation launched by members of NPA Front 21 in Sitio Lusong, Barangay Puting Bato, Cabadbaran, Agusan del Norte on April 27. After two and a half hours, two other soldiers were wounded in an NPA sniping operation at the Cabadbaran River, in front of Sitio Lusong.
