From the Philippine News Agency (Jul 16): NPA attacks Army detachment in ComVal town
Troops from the Army's 72nd Infantry Battalion clashed anew with members of the communist New People’s Army (NPA) when their detachment in Barangay Cabuyoan, Mabini, Compostela Valley province was attacked on Monday.
Based on the initial report from Mabini Municipal Police Office, Chief Insp. Milgrace Driz, spokesperson of the Police Regional Office-11, said a firefight occurred at about 12:20 a.m on Monday near the Cabuyoan detachment.
Driz said about 10 members of the Militia ng Bayan, Guerilla Front 2 of the New People’s Army (NPA) who were positioned 50 meters away, fired at the detachment under Corporal Raul Baldestoy.
This prompted the army troops to return fire and the firefight lasted for about three minutes, Driz said.
Driz said no casualty was reported on the government side.
