A New People's Army (NPA) fighter was killed while 12
high-powered firearms were seized during an encounter with government security
forces in Nabunturan, Compostela
Valley
The clash took place at Sitio Inupuan, Barangay Mainit, said
10th Infantry Division public affairs office chief Capt. Rhyan Batchar.
Troopers from the 25th Infantry Battalion and the Compostela
Valley Provincial Public Safety Company were deployed to the locality, in wake
of reports about the presence of NPA members, when the 20-minute clash against
a group of around 20 rebels took place.
Batchar said these rebels are from Guerilla Front 27
commanded by a certain "Lipi".
A still unidentified NPA rebel was killed. Meanwhile, eight
M-16 rifles, four AK-47 rifles, seven improvised grenades, one ICOM radio,
medical paraphernalia and subversive documents were seized from the clash site.
Pursuit operations are still ongoing.
