Three persons, including two soldiers from the 41st Division
Reconnaissance Company and 4th Field Artillery Battalion were killed after they
were ambushed by New People's Army (NPA) rebels in Sitio Ban-as, Barangay
Mahayag, San Miguel town, Surigao Del Sur Wednesday night.
The attack took place 9 p.m.
Aside from the two soldiers killed, a civilian also died in
the NPA attack which also wounded one civilian and five troopers.
Capt. Jasper Gacayan, 401st Infantry Brigade spokesperson,
said the troopers were aboard a military truck passing the area when the NPAs
detonated an improvised explosive device.
Not contented, the rebels continued firing on the injured
troopers before making their escape.
Pursuit operations are still ongoing as of this posting.
