LEGAZPI CITY -- At least two suspected New People’s Army (NPA) rebels were killed Tuesday in a clash with government troops in Barangay Malabog, in Caramoan town, Camarines Sur province, a military report said.

The slain rebels have yet to be identified, according to Army Capt. Joash Pramis, 9th Infantry Division Public Affairs Office chief.

Pramis said a patrol of soldiers were on combat operation at about 12:40 p.m. when they chanced upon a 10-man NPA group at the hinterland village.

The clash resulted in the death of two rebels and the recovery of a Carbine rifle.

Soldiers are still pursuing the rebels by scouring mountainous areas where they could have fled. (PNA)
