Captain Jefferson Mariano of the 8th Infantry Division Public Affairs Office, says the operation was conducted in the hinterlands of Barangay Santander in Bobon.
CATBALOGAN, Philippines – Seven alleged members of the New People’s Army were killed and four firearms were recovered during a Joint Focused Military Operation of the Armed Forces of the Philippines in the hinterlands of Barangay Santander in Bobon, Northern Samar on Sunday, April 30.
“The terrorist’s hideouts were heavily fortified and surrounded by prohibited anti-personnel mines that prompted the troops to call for close air and artillery support,” Mariano said. The 8ID could not provide photos or identification of the casualties as troops are still in the area processing the encounter site.
