MANILA, Philippines – A soldier died Monday evening, August 13, in a rebel attack in the boundary of Datu Piang, Maguindanao and Midsayap, North Cotabato.
The attack by the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF), a breakaway group of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), killed a certain Sgt Rogelio Owarde at around 9:45 p.m. Monday. It also wounded another army personnel.
The BIFF engaged in a firefight with a detachment of the 401st Brigade that lasted around 45 minutes.
