TWO communist New People’s Army (NPA) terrorists were killed in a clash with government forces in a remote village in the province of Sultan Kudarat, the military reported Saturday, September 5, 2020.
Major General Diosdado Carreon, 6th Infantry Division commander, said the clash occurred late Friday in the boundary of Santa Clara and Datu Ito Indong villages in Kalamansig town, Sultan Kudarat.
Carreon said the troops of the 37th Infantry Battalion were conducting focused military operation when they clashed against 20 NPA rebels in the boundary of Santa Clara and Datu Ito Indong villages.
Carreon said the clash lasted for about five minutes after which the NPA rebels fled to different directions.
He said the troops have recovered the remains of two slain NPA rebels while conducting a clearing operation at the clash site.
Carreon said the troops have also recovered an improvised explosive device (IED) triggering device, one M-16 Armalite rifle, one shotgun, two magazines, medical kits, and propaganda materials.
He said that no one among the troops was either killed or wounded during the clash.
Meanwhile, Major General Corleto Vinluan, Jr., Western Mindanao Command (Westmincom) chief, has urged the public to be vigilant and to immediately report any person acting suspiciously or suspicious object in their locality while the troops intensify the focused military operations.
“Let us continue to converge for the attainment of lasting peace and sustainable development in the region,” Vinluan added. (SunStar Zamboanga)
