From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 28): Trooper killed, 3 others hurt in Kalinga NPA ambush

A soldier from the Army's 50th Infantry Battalion was killed while three of his companions were seriously wounded during an ambush by 10 New People's Army (NPA) fighters at Barangay Limos, Pinukpuk town, Kalinga Saturday morning.

The troops were conducting an community outreach program when fired upon by rebels at 9 a.m.

Chief Insp. Jomarick Felina, Kalinga Provincial Police Office spokesperson, said the wounded soldiers were brought to the Kalinga Provincial Hospital for treatment.

The attack came just two days after NPA members also ambushed government troops in Quirino, Ilocos Sur Thursday night.

Five soldiers were killed and six more were wounded in Thursday's incident.
