PAGADIAN CITY (Nov. 4, 2020) - The military troops seized war materials of the Communist Terrorist Group following a gunfight in Zamboanga del Sur at 11:10 in the morning on November 1, 2020, WestMinCom official disclosed.
WestMinCom Commander Lt. Gen. Corleto Vinluan, Jr. said, said that while the troops of the 53rd Infantry Battalion conducting combat operations, engaged more or less 15 communist terrorist group members in the tri-boundaries of Barangays Buenasuerte and Laperian of the municipality of Tukuran, and Dipaya of Labangan.
“The group belongs to the Main Regional Guerilla Unit (MRGU) of the Western Mindanao Regional Party Committee (WMRPC),” the commander added.
The gunfight lasted for 21 minutes after which the enemies withdrew bringing along their casualties with them.
“While scouring the clash site, our troops recovered two poncho tent, one sack charcoal, empty shells of AK47 and M16, one green sweatshirt marked 8H8, and assorted foodstuff,” said Brig. Gen. Leonel Nicolas, 102nd Infantry Brigade Commander.
“There was no casualty from our side while pursuit operation is being conducted to neutralize the fleeing enemies and determine their casualties,” Brig. Gen. Nicolas added.
“We believe that several militants were wounded and probably could have died due to loss of blood especially that hot pursuit is vigorously undertaken,” he further said.
