2 NPAs killed in Butuan clash
Two New People's Army (NPA) rebels were killed in a clash with government troops in Butuan City on Tuesday, January 28, in Sitio Dinakpan, Barangay Los Angeles.
The firefight occurred when soldiers from the Army's 29th Infantry Battalion approached a group of armed individuals, reportedly extorting from residents, who then opened fire.
The slain rebels were identified as members of the NPA's Northeastern Mindanao Regional Committee (NEMRC).
Leaders of the NEMRC are wanted for high-profile criminal cases including multiple murder, extortion, and large-scale drug trafficking.
The military recovered automatic rifles, bullets, medicines, personal belongings, and documents with high intelligence value.
The bodies of the slain rebels were turned over to local authorities, and the military thanked the community for their vigilance.
