Army units recovered assorted NPA weapons in Camarines Sur clash

From the Philippine News Agency (Jan 20): Army units recovered assorted NPA weapons in Camarines Sur clash

Patrolling elements of the 42nd Infantry Battalion have recovered assorted weapons and explosives following a clash with five New People's Army (NPA) fighters at Barangay Scout Fuentebella, Goa town, Camarines Sur Tuesday morning.

The incident took place at 10: 35 a.m. Southern Luzon Command spokesperson Major Angelo Guzman told the PNA.

He said that the two squads of the 42nd Infantry Battalion were on security patrol when they encountered the five rebels.

This triggered a short firefight which caused the rebels to retreat in different directions, leaving behind an M-16 automatic rifle, a rifle grenade, an improvised explosive device, and three backpacks.

No casualties were incurred by government security forces who are now pursuing the rebels.
