I. Situation Overview

On 16 February 2024, an armed conflict transpired in Brgy. Pantao, Munai, Lanao del Norte between Dawlah Islamiyah – Maute Group (DI-MG) and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), resulting in injuries. Two days later, on the 18th of February, another clash occurred in Brgy. Lindongan, Munai, with nine (9) reported dead and seven (7) injured. Following this, on the 21st of February, a military operation targeted the suspected hideout in Brgy. Matampay, Munai, causing casualties among civilians and the terrorist group.

This incident transpired on the border of LGU Tangcal and Munai, prompting affected families to evacuate to nearby municipalities—specifically Tangcal, Bacolod, Kolambugan, and Magsaysay, Lanao del Norte.

In response, the DSWD through its Field Office in Region X, in coordination with the concerned Local Government Unit (LGU), promptly provided relief augmentation to support the immediate needs of the affected families and individuals.
