Soldier dead, 3 hurt in Maute attack in Marawi

From ABS=CBN (Jul 2): Soldier dead, 3 hurt in Maute attack in Marawi

One soldier was killed and three others were wounded after suspected members of the Maute terrorist group attacked a military camp in Marawi City Friday evening.

M203 grenade launchers targeted the compound of the 103rd Infantry Brigade.

Part of the camp's wall collapsed after it was struck by an improvised explosive device (IED).

This is the latest in the group's attacks against soldiers in Marawi City.

On June 25, the group shot a soldier while getting a carwash. On June 28, another soldier was ambushed, followed by a firefight, which left a two-year-old civilian dead.

The Maute terrorist group is responsible for atrocities in Butig, Lanao del Sur, including the beheading of two kidnapped civilians and the bombing of a Lanao del Sur tower.
It is known to have pledged allegiance to the terror group Islamic State.
