Three soldiers were wounded after a clash with Bangsamoro
Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) in Shariff Saydona Mustapha town, Maguindanao
Tuesday morning.
Capt. Jo-ann Petinglay, 6th Infantry Division public affairs
office chief, said the clash took place around 4 a.m. at Sitio Lanas, Barangay
Pamalian.
Sporadic fighting is still ongoing.
Petinglay said troopers from the 34th Infantry Battalion
were conducting clearing operations when they chanced upon an undetermined
number of BIFF men who fired on government troops, wounding three.
The skirmish in Barangay Pamailian involved the group of
BIFF commander Karalian, a known follower of the late Umbra Kato, the BIFF
founder.
The wounded men are now undergoing treatment in Camp Siongco
Station Hospital
Two MD-520 attacks are now on stand-by at the 601st Brigade
Tactical Command Post for possible close air support.
