Rebel killed, soldier wounded in Negros clash

From InterAksyon (Nov 9): Rebel killed, soldier wounded in Negros clash

A communist rebel was killed and a soldier wounded in a clash in Guihulngan City, Negros Oriental Sunday morning, the military said.

Lieutenant Colonel Paulito Idul, commander of the 11th Infantry Battalion, said troops led by 1st Lieutenant Chino Cornelio were patrolling in Barangay Maniac when seven rebels believed to belong to the New People’s Army’s Central Negros Front fired on them around 9:50 a.m., triggering a 20-minute firefight.

Private First Class Jennifer Carbajosa was slightly wounded on the forehead in the encounter.

The identity of the slain rebel, who was left behind by his retreating comrades, was not disclosed.

The troops also found the rebels’ encampment and seized a KG-9 submachinegun, four backpacks, training materials and medical supplies.
