Government security troops are now conducting a manhunt against a lawless group that bombed and toppled two transmission towers in Marawi City Thursday night.

1st Infantry Division spokesperson Lt. Col. Audie Mongao disclosed Friday that the manhunt is in coordination with members of the Lanao Del Sur Provincial Police Office.

Mongao said police are still determining the motive and identities of the brigands who toppled National Grid Corporation of the Philippines Transmission Towers 19 and 20 located at Barangay Sugod, Marawi City.

Improvised explosive devices were used in the attack, he added.

The two transmission towers provide electricity to Lanao Del Sur via AGUS 2 hydro-electric plant in Barangay Pawak, Saguiaran town.
