The military and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front have pressed their offensive against an ISIS-inspired group in Maguindanao’s second district.
Early Monday morning, the Army fired artillery shots towards Barangay Muslim in Guindulungan, Maguindanao after black flag-carrying suspected terrorists were seen massing in the village.
Over the weekend, four suspected members of ISIS-inspired Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) were injured when the military launched artillery strikes against a BIFF faction that tried to attack Army bases in Guindulungan town, according to Capt. Arvin John Encinas.
Speaking for the 6th Infantry Division, Encinas said the preemptive artillery strike was launched after military units in Guindulungan learned of the suspicious convergence of followers of BIFF leader Imam Bongos, alias Commander Bongos, in a secluded barangay there.
