One soldier died and another one was injured in an encounter between the military and suspected New People's Army (NPA) rebels on Monday, May 13 in Negros Oriental.
The clash occurred at 11 am in barangay San Francisco, Santa Catalina, said Col Francisco Patrimonio, 302nd Infantry Brigade commander.
He added that the slain soldier was shot in the head, and two rebels were probably injured, but this last information could not be independently verified.
