A New People's Army (NPA) improvised explosive device attack
was foiled after a concerned civilian reported the presence of the IED in Sta.
Cruz town, Davao Del Sur Monday morning.
Capt. Rhyan Batchar, 10th Infantry Division public affairs
office chief, said the concerned civilian discovered the IED at the river near
Barangay Sinoron around 8:00 a.m.
He added the former immediately reported his find to nearby
39th Infantry Battalion troops who then immediately disarmed the eight-kilogram
IED which was reportedly planted by NPAs under Guerilla Front 51 of the
Southern Mindanao Regional Committee.
"He saved not only the lives of our soldiers but the
unwary civilians that might be victimized by the wanton laying of IED
by the NPAs," 10th Infantry Division commander Major Gen. Rafael Valencia
said.
