SULU – Abu Sayyaf militants killed a government soldier and wounded 3 more in a firefight Thursday in the southern Philippine town of Patikul.
The fighting lasted over 20 minutes, but there was no immediate report of enemy casualties. At least 30 militants clashed with troops in Igasan village where security forces have been pursuing the pro-ISIS militants.
The military’s Western Mindanao Command did not issue any press release on the latest fighting and had not given reports since the deadly twin suicide bombings on the cathedral in Jolo town on January 27.
