“The casualty was immediately extricated... and is now recuperating at Camp Siongco Station Hospital,” Lt. Gen. Corleto Vinluan Jr., Western Mindanao Command chief, said.
Vinluan said two rifles, a caliber .45 pistol and an improvised explosive device were among those recovered at the scene.
The bandits, led by Omar Abdullah, reportedly fired at personnel of the 34th Infantry Battalion in Sitio Macabenban, Barangay Indatuan.
