4 soldiers hurt in Bukidnon ambush
SUSPECTED New People’s Army guerrillas using landmines ambushed a group of Army troopers in Quezon, Bukidnon, on Wednesday, injuring four of the soldiers before fleeing.
A Police Regional Office 10 report said an undetermined number of the leftist gunmen were believed to have been wounded in an exchange of fire with members of the Army’s 8th Infantry Brigade led by Lt. Gaspar and T/Sergeant Pepito.
Police said the soldiers were on board a Simba armored fighting vehicle when they struck an improvised landmine along the Zigzag Road in Bgy. Palacapao, Quezon municipality, at 8:45 a.m. Wednesday.
The troops then came under heavy fire from the rebels who were hiding in the bushes. Although wounded, the soldiers and their other colleagues managed to return fire, forcing their attackers to flee.
