THE military forces have recovered communication equipment that the New People’s Army (NPA) rebels abandoned following a brief firefight in the hinterlands of Zamboanga del Sur.
Army’s 53rd Infantry Battalion Commander Alvin Luzon said the clash ensued around 9:45 a.m. Thursday in the village of Datagan, Guipos, Zamboanga del Sur.
Luzon said the gunfight ensued when government troopers were scouring the village of Datagan following the reported presence of NPA rebels in the area.
The rebels fled to different directions leaving behind six radio transceivers, four battery chargers, three antennas, a magazine bandolier, subversive documents of high-intelligence value and personal belongings.
Luzon said the group of NPA rebels that figured in the clash with the troops were remnants of the Sandatahang Yunit Pampropaganda (SYP) Platoon of the Front Committee Kara that is operating in the province.
He said two people, including a pregnant woman, who were believed to be NPA supporters were apprehended near the clash site but were then released after undergoing debriefing.
