Amid the conduct of focused military operation, troops from the 1st Scout Ranger Battalion encountered more or less ten fully armed members of the Abu Sayyaf Group under sub leader Hatib Hajan Sawadjaan in Barangay Liu Bud Pantao, Talipao, Sulu in the afternoon of March 3, 2020.
Firefight ensued which lasted for 30 minutes after which enemies withdrew bringing along their casualties with them.
No casualty was reported on the government side while that of the enemy is yet to be determined.
Recovered from the encounter site were: three bandoleer; three jungle pack; three poncho tent; one long and one short magazines of M16; cash amounting to Php14, 000.00; one android cellular phone; one 40mm cartridge ; 10 kilos rice; food stuff; and assorted kitchen utensils.
“While we continue with our peace campaigns, we are also intensifying our military operations to neutralize the obstinate members of the different threat groups in our area of operation who remain to be the menace of society,” said Lt. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana, commander of the Western Mindanao Command.
Pursuit operations are being conducted as of press time.
