Lanao del Sur 1st District Rep. Zia Alonto Adiong condemned the killing of two Army intelligence operatives in Munai, Lanao del Norte while gathering information on Marawi bombing suspects.

Adiong said the incident is “a cause for deep concern.”

“This incident underscores the persistent threats posed by extremist groups like Daulah Islamiyah-Maute in our region, emphasizing the urgent need for collective condemnation and unity,” said Adiong in a press statement.

“In times of tragedy, our shared resilience challenges us to stand united against the forces of hatred and violence,” he added.

According to reports, the two non-uniformed soldiers were out on a mission when they were shot by assault rifles while riding a motorcycle in Barangay Lininding in Munai.

The attackers reportedly took their personal belongings and service pistols before escaping.
