Two suspected communist rebels were killed in a clash Thursday dawn in Camarines Sur between government troops and the News People's Army (NPA), a military spokesman said.
Philippine Army spokesman Maj. Bartolome Bacarro said a squad from the 42nd Infantry Battalion encountered 10 fully armed rebels at around 4:50 am yesterday at Sitio Mimaag, Higbas village in Caramoan town, Camarines Sur while they were conducting security operation in the area.
The brief firefight that ensued resulted in the death of two unidentified NPA members, while no one was hurt or killed on the government side.
The Army troopers recovered from the rebel group two M16 rifles, three bandoleers for M16, and a jungle pack containing subversive documents.
Bacarro said the fleeing rebels were being pursued by the government troops./DMS
