From ABS-CBN (Feb 21): Military launches ops vs. BIFF
[Video report: Military conducts operation vs. BIFF in North Cotabato]
The military conducted operations against the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters in North Cotabato.
The 602nd brigade conducted the focused military operations in Barangay Kabasalan in Pikit at 6 a.m. Saturday morning.
According to 602nd Brigade Spokesperson Capt. Calvin Macatangay, the operation was coordinated with the Coordinating Committee on the Cessation of Hostilities.
"Gumalaw na kami at kailangan na kasing pansinin ang BIFF," said Macatangay.
BIFF spokesperson Abu Missry Mama said the mortar shelling was launched in a civilian populace.
The military denied this, however, saying civilians have left the area for more than a week now.
It was in the early days of February when clashes erupted between Moro Islamic Liberation Front and BIFF, causing 20,000 individuals to evacuate from Kalbugan, Bago-Inged, Pagalungan, Maguindanao and Kabasalan, Barongis, Buliok, Bulol and Rajamuda in Pikit, North Cotabato.
