Seven Philippine soldiers wounded in clash with Abu Sayyaf
[Sunstar] Seven Philippine rangers were injured in encounters with Abu Sayyaf militants in Patikul, Sulu on Wednesday.

Western Mindanao Command spokesman John Encinas said five rangers were injured in gun battles with around 30 followers of Abu Sayyaf sub-leader Hatib Hajan Sawadjaan in Sitio Kan Mindang, Barangay Pangdanon. Encinas said five improvised explosive devices, a detonating cord, medical and food supplies and 15 kilos of rice were among those recovered from an Abu Sayyaf camp seized by government troopers.

“The lair and the withdrawal route of the enemy, which were marked with heavy bloodstains, indicated that the Abu Sayyaf suffered an undetermined number of casualties,” he said.

Encinas said two soldiers were injured in pursuit operations in Sitio Kanlimbungan, Barangay Tanum.
