A New People's Army (NPA) fighter was killed while a
militiaman was wounded as troopers from the combined 60th and 72nd Infantry
Battalions clashed with rebels anew in Laak town, Compostela Saturday morning.
The encounter took place 7 a.m. at Sitio Agsam, Barangay
Ampunan, said 10th Infantry Division public affairs office chief Capt. Rhyan

And in the ensuing 30-minute firefight, a still unidentified
NPA fighter was killed and a M-14 rifle captured, prompting the rebels to
retreat.
Batchar said a militiaman was wounded in the encounter. He
added that the latter was being treated at the Metro Davao
