Armed group attacks military camp near Marawi City

From GMA News (Aug 20): Armed group attacks military camp near Marawi City

An armed group attacked a military detachment near Marawi City early on Sunday, a radio report said.

Reporting from Marawi City, dzBB's Benjie Liwanag said that the detachment of the 55th Infantry Battalion was manned by members of the Citizens Armed Forces Geographical Unit (CAFGU).
No militia was reported hurt in the attack by the group believed to be supporting the pro-ISIS Maute terrorists in Lanao del Sur, the report said.

A joint police and military team is in pursuit for the group that harassed the military camp, and security around war-torn Marawi City has been heightened.

Meanwhile, in Marawi City, fierce fighting between the holdover Maute terrorists and government soldiers has continued to rage nearly three months after the pro-ISIS jihadists laid siege to the city on May 23.
