Militiaman hurt in Davao City clash

From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 26): Militiaman hurt in Davao City clash

A militiaman was wounded during an encounter with New People's Army (NPA) forces in Barangay Manuel Guinga, Davao City Friday morning.

10th Infantry Division public affairs office chief 1st Lt. Alexandre Cabales said the incident took place 9 a.m.

He added that the 40-minute firefight between troopers of the 84th Infantry Battalion and NPA fighters stemmed from reports of concerned civilians who expressed fear of the armed men lurking in their communities.

In the encounter, a militiaman was wounded in the legs while the NPAs were forced to abandon their positions, leaving behind their personal belongings and two improvised explosive devices and several magazines.

Cabales also believed that several NPAs were wounded in the encounter as evidenced by several blood trails.
