As a result of its intensified mine-clearing activities, the
Davao City-based Eastern Mindanao Command has recovered and disarmed 56 New
People's Army (NPA) improvised explosive devices (IEDs) for the first six
months of 2015.
This was disclosed by EMC public affairs office Capt.
Alberto Caber in a message to the PNA.
He added that most of these IEDs were recovered by
government troopers along major road networks and population centers in their
area-of-operations.
It can be recalled that on April 1, a civilian was killed
while seven others were injured in an IED explosion along the road in Brgy.
Mahayag, San Miguel, Surigao
Del Sur.
Moreover, on April 20, two innocent civilians were wounded
as a result of an IED explosion that was perpetrated by NPA bandits along the
national highway in Sitio Bagong Silang, Brgy San Vicente, Makilala, North Cotabato .
Caber said the continuous manufacture and use of these IEDs
are gross violations of the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights
and International Humanitarian Law.
