CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Philippines – Suspected New People’s Army (NPA) rebels attacked a detachment of the Philippine Army in Barangay Kibanban, Balingasag, Misamis Oriental Thursday dawn.

Col. Jose Eriel Niembra, commander of the 58th Infantry Battalion based in Claveria town, said no one was reported wounded in the 10-minute firefight.

Niembra said the NPA rebels took advantage of the lull in the military’s offensive as the soldiers were involved in disaster preparedness for Tropical Depression Queenie.
