Authorities later said nine bandits were killed in the clash, including sub-commander Hairullah Asbang.
In October, the Abu Sayyaf released two German hostages in Patikul town.
The group claimed ransom had been paid for the release of the hostages, one of whom they threatened to behead. The government has denied that ransom was paid.
