FORT MAGSAYSAY, Palayan City, Nueva Ecija -- A suspected member of the New People's Army (NPA) was killed while nine government troopers were wounded in an encounter in Barangay Sanguit, Dupax del Sur, Nueva Vizcaya on Thursday.
The identities of the soldiers and the dead rebel have yet to be disclosed.
Sketchy reports from the Army's 7th Infantry Division here showed that the troops from 841 Infantry Batallion under Lt. Col. George Bergonia encountered an undetermined number of NPA members in the area.
The soldiers were in the area in response to information provided by "the people in the community" on the presence and activities of the rebel group. (PNA)
