GENERAL SANTOS CITY, March 12 (PNA) -– A civilian was injured as suspected New People’s Army (NPA) rebels harassed over the weekend two remote communities in Malungon town in Sarangani province. | |||
Lt. Col. Adolfo Espuelas Jr., commander of the Army’s 73rd Infantry Battalion, said Monday they received reports that around 20 NPA rebels separately fired at residents of Sitios Makalong and Danao in Barangay Lutay of Malungon on Sunday. | |||
The area is located near the boundaries of Malungon and nearby Malita town in Davao del Sur, he said, | |||
Espuelas said a local resident only identified as a certain Muda was hit on the side of his body during the attack. | |||
Citing intelligence reports, he said the attackers allegedly belong to Platoon Lawin of the NPA’s Guerilla Front 71 that operates in the provinces of Sarangani and Davao del Sur. | |||
“The harassment actually happened on the 40th day of the killing of a local NPA leader in an earlier encounter with our troops,” he said in a radio interview. | |||
Espuelas said they conducted offensive operations in the area last Jan. 30 that resulted to the killing of several suspected NPA rebels. | |||
As a result of the incident, the official said he has dispatched additional personnel to the area to secure the residents and communities as well as hunt down the perpetrators. (PNA) | |||
