Camp Navarro, Calarian, Zamboanga City- May 20, 2020
Military troops neutralized an enemy and recovered explosives and other war materials of the Local Terrorist Group in a brief gunfight in Maguindanao this morning, May 20.
Combat troops of the 33rd Infantry Battalion conducted a security operation and encountered the local terrorists in Barangay Sapakan, Rajah Buayan yesterday.
Ground forces pursued the evading militants and discovered traces of bloodstains at the engagement site, according to Col. Joel Mamon, officer-in-charge of the 601st Infantry Brigade.
Pursuing troops engaged anew in a 20-minute clash with twelve local terrorists in Sitio Kampana, Barangay Tabungao at 4:30am today.
The series of offensives led to the recovery of an enemy cadaver, two improvised explosives and components, three magazines, and a half sack of IED fertilizer.
Troops continue to pursue the fleeing militants and scour the area.
Meanwhile, a soldier died from the injuries sustained in said gunfight.
The identity of said casualty will not be disclosed pending notification to the next of kin.
“The armed forces mourn such loss and commiserate with the bereaved family and friends of our comrade-in-arm who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the gunfight,” said Lt. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana, commander of the Western Mindanao Command.
“We nevertheless sustain our security campaign to neutralize local terrorists in our earnest desire to end lawlessness and violence,” he added.
