Army clash in Agusan del Sur kills one NPA rebel

A clash between the Philippine Army and the New People's Army (NPA) in Agusan del Sur on Tuesday, March 4, resulted in the death of one NPA rebel identified as Dar.

Dar was a member of the Subregional Sentro de Gravidad Southland of the Communist Party of the Philippines-Northeastern Mindanao Regional Committee.

The 30-minute gunfight occurred in Barangay Magsaysay, Prosperidad, and was prompted by residents' reports of NPA extortion and disruptive activities.

Military recovered an M16 Armalite rifle, an AR18 rifle, backpacks, a bandolier, and subversive documents from the encounter site.

The rebel's remains were handed over to the local government of Prosperidad for proper disposition.

Soldiers are pursuing the fleeing rebels following their withdrawal route.
