The New People’s Army (NPA)-Masbate (Jose Rapsing Command) Red fighters harassed soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) in consecutive operations against two military camps in Milagros town, Masbate province last August 10. The NPA-Masbate fired on the camp of the 93rd Division Reconnaissance Company in Sitio San Jose, Barangay Hamorawon and the 2nd IB camp in Barangay San Antonio at 9 p.m.

The unit said this was to express their condemnation of the ongoing Pacific Partnership 2024-2 (PP24-2) “humanitarian mission” of American and Filipino troops in Legazpi City, Albay province in the Bicol region from August 1 to 14.

In North Central Mindanao, at least six soldiers were killed in an NPA attack and active defensive actions in March and July. Meanwhile, 12 soldiers were injured in these armed actions.
