THREE soldiers were wounded on Monday after they hit a homemade land mine believed to have been planted by Abu Sayyaf bandits while on patrol in Lamitan City, Basilan, the military said.
The Armed Forces Western Mindanao Command spokesman, Maj. Filemon Tan Jr., said a section of the Army’s 14th Scout Ranger Company was conducting a morning foot patrol when its members tripped the land mine.
The incident occurred in Barangay Sabong, Lamitan City, Basilan.
As a result, three Scout Rangers, whom Tan did not identify, were wounded.
Members of the Third Scout Ranger Battalion reinforced and rescued the wounded soldiers.
The three were later evacuated to Zambonga City for medical treatment.
