On 23 November 2019, an MILF commander's party was unhurt when an improvised explosive device (IED) planted underneath a motorcycle was remotely detonated by suspected BIFF militants as the commander's pick-up truck passed by the motorcycle in Shariff Aguak, Maguindanao. The commander himself was not in the pick-up truck during the incident. The MILF recently began decommissioning its weapons as part of a 2014 peace plan with the government. In recent years, they have assisted the military in fighting Islamist groups in the region.
