The capture of the harbour site came four days after they discovered two ASG encampments in the same barangay.
SULU: Troops seized a harbour site of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) while on a combat operation in the hinterlands of Sulu, officials announced Monday.
Lt. Jerrica Angela Manongdo, Joint Task Force (JTF)-Sulu information officer, said troops of the 2nd Special Forces Battalion (2SFBn) seized the harbour site in Barangay Danag, Patikul at around 7:15am, Sunday.
Manongdo said the troops noted that the bandits must have left the area in haste as they recovered three hammocks, two backpacks, personal belongings, and perishable food items.
