Thirteen soldiers from Joint Task Group Sulu were wounded in a firefight with around 100 members of the Abu Sayyaf Group in Patikul, Sulu on Friday morning.
According to Ens. Chester Ramos, spokesman of Joint Task Force Zambasulta (Zamboanga, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi), the soldiers were conducting a "law enforcement operation" when they encountered members of the Abu Sayyaf Group just before noon.
After an hour and a half of fighting, eight bandits were left wounded on the Abu Sayyaf side.
The Abu Sayyaf, believed to have been led by Radullan Sihiron, Hairulah Asbang and Amlon Abtahi, dragged their wounded comrades in the direction of Sitio Kantitap, Ramos said.
