An alleged New People’s Army fighter was killed and six high-powered firearms recovered by government forces following a clash in Barangay Hinimbangan, Kitcahrao, Agusan del Norte on Monday.
“Our troops recovered one dead rebel after 20 minutes of firefight,” Captain Joe Patrick Martinez, deputy chief of the 4th Infantry Division’s public affairs office said.
They also recovered an M203 grenade launcher, three M16 and two AK 47 rifles, undetonated improvised explosive devices, and backpacks.
