Two soldiers belonging to the Charlie Company of the Army's 3rd Infantry Battalion were wounded in a landmine explosion in Barangay Tambobong here around 10:30 a.m. on Saturday.
Chief Insp. Milgrace Driz, Police Regional Office-11 (PRO-11) spokesperson, identified the injured as Pvt. Jejomar Judan and Sgt. Enrique Genon.
Based on the report, Driz said the troops moved away from the explosion site after they managed to fire back at the armed men believed to be members of the New People’s Army (NPA). The explosion also damaged the military truck carrying the troops.
Investigators recovered from the scene fragments of two improvised explosive device (IED) and extracted from the site the two wounded troopers, Driz said.
In a statement, PRO-11 said it will assist its army counterparts in investigating the incident and in the filing of cases.
Driz said police and military authories also condemned the NPA for its continued use of landmines, in violation of the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law (CARHRIHL).
