Government security forces fended off an unprovoked New
People's Army (NPA) attack against a patrol base in Paquibato District, Davao City
The assault, which lasted for 20 minutes, started 7 a.m.
when rebel fighters affiliated with the Pulang Bagani Company of the Southern
Mindanao Regional Committee fired at the CAFGU Active Auxiliary Patrol Base of
the 72nd Infantry Battalion at Sitio Ipil, Barangay Sumimao, Paquibato
District.
Capt. Rhyan Batchar, 10th Infantry Division public affairs
office chief, said the NPAs fired when only 300 meters away from the patrol
base regardless of its proximity to civilian settlements.
Return fire from on duty soldiers and militiamen forced the
NPAs to retreat after a 20-minute battle.
There were no casualties reported.
