Suspected pro-Islamic State militants detonated a landmine in Ampatuan town, Maguindanao province on Friday, leaving four government troops wounded, a military official said. Maj. Gen. Juvymax Uy, commander of the Army’s 6th Infantry Division and Joint Task Force Central, said soldiers were on a road and mine-clearing operations when an anti-personnel mine planted by suspected Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) exploded. Uy said the incident left two soldiers and two members of the Civilian Active Auxiliary wounded. “They were immediately evacuated by the responding team to the nearest hospital,” he said.
