Two New People's Army (NPA) bandits were killed while 10 others —five rebels and five troopers — were wounded during an encounter at Purok Manga, Paquibato District, Davao City yesterday afternoon.
Five of the wounded soldiers are from the 69th Infantry Battalion, said Eastern Mindanao Command public affairs chief Capt. Alberto Caber.
The clash with rebel forces took place at 3:45 p.m.
He added that government troops were conducting security patrols when they chanced upon the NPA band, triggering a brief firefight, which killed two rebels and wounded five others.
Caber said the wounded soldiers are now in stable condition.
He added that the pursuing troops recovered assorted ammunition from the encounter scene.
Residents in the area reported there are five wounded NPA bandits who were carried by their companion in their escape.
Efforts are now underway to identify the slain rebels who were abandoned by their comrades.
