KIDAPAWAN CITY, Philippines – Communist rebels attacked a Civilian Armed Forces Geographical Unit (CAFGU) detachment in Makilala town, North Cotabato, around 7:15 p.m., Tuesday, a military official said.
Lt. Nasrullah Sema, chief of the civil military operations of the 57th Infantry Battalion, said the rebels under Front 72 of the New Peoples’ Army (NPA), fired seven rounds of M-203 grenade launcher towards the CAFGU detachment of the 38th IB in Barangay Villaflores, Makilala. The CAFGUs fired back.
The exchange of fires lasted for five minutes, Sema said.
No one, though, was hurt in the attack.
The rebels withdrew from the northwest portion of Makilala town, towards Barangay Batang in nearby Tulunan town, which the Army believe, is a rebel base. (Malu Cadelina Manar)
