Explosive Cache

On 10 February 2013, at around 9:00 a.m., troops from the 3rd Special Forces Battalion, Special Operations Command of the Philippine Army while pursuing the NPA have seized a New People's Army (NPA) explosive cache in Sitio Bato-Batohan, Barangay San Antonio, Remedios T. Romualdez town, Agusan Del Norte. Recovered inside the arms cache were a two 20-kilogram of anti-personnel/anti-tank landmines, a plastic container filled with 20 liters of gasoline, two rolls of detonating cord each measuring 250 meters and subversive NPA documents. Accordingly, said mission was prompted by tip from the local residents who claimed that the NPA rebels were using the area as explosive and arms depot.
