| 2013-10-23 |
| Communist militants killed nine soldiers on Monday in landmine ambushes in Mindanao. The attacks, among the bloodiest by the New People’s Army (NPA) in months, also left five soldiers injured, according to a military statement. The first group of soldiers were on their way to meet pro-government militiamen when they hit a landmine planted by the NPA. Communist militants then opened fire on the soldiers, killing eight of them and leaving one in critical condition. They then took seven of the soldiers’ rifles. Troops rushing to help the first group were hit by another landmine and also ambushed by the militants, killing one more soldier and injuring four others. Colonel Marcos Flores said, “This criminal act of the NPA in using landmines has to stop." |
