Fifteen more Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) members were killed by government forces in clearing operations which started 9:00 p.m. Thursday and ended early Friday morning.
Lt. Col. Ramon Zagala, Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) public affairs office chief, said that these MNLF fighters were killed during engagements in the "constriction areas" in barangays Sta. Barbara and Catalina.
No losses were reported on the government side, he added.
"As to now, we are still conducting clearing operations" when asked of developments.
The standoff is now on its 19th day. On Thursday, 45 MNLF fighters were captured by military forces.
