95 people, including civilians, killed in Marawi City —AFP

A total of 95 people have been killed as fighting between government troops and Maute group continued for the sixth day in Marawi City, the military reported Sunday.

A radio dzBB report citing data from AFP spokesperson Brig. Gen. Restituto Padilla, the military has already killed a total of 61 terrorists.

The report said that 42 of the slain terrorists were based on accounts by troops and the remaining 19 were based on information from witnesses in area where fighting between the Maute group and troops erupted.

Padilla, meanwhile, reported that a total of 15 government troops have been killed in clashes in the city. Eleven of the government's fatalities were members of the AFP and four were from the Philippine National Police.

Thirty-nine other military and police personnel have been wounded since Friday, the report said.

The same report said that a total of 19 civilians have been confirmed killed by the Maute group, eight of which were found some 300 meters away from the Mindanao Jail earlier in the day.

In a radio dzBB interview, Tong Pacasum of the Lanao del Sur Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (PDRRMC) said that they are trying to extract bodies from the sites of encounters between troops and terrorists.

Six of the bodies were transported from Barangay Basak Malutlot in Marawi City to Iligan City using an unmarked vehicle.

He said during the interview that they will extract seven more bodies from the village.

He could not say if Maute group members were among the dead extracted from the village, but said that one of the six bodies was wearing a black uniform and he could be a member of the local terror group.

The ARMM Crisis Management Council had reported that as of late Saturday afternoon, a total of 42,142 people have been internally-displaced by fighting between government troops and the Maute group.

The local terror group launched attacks in Marawi City last May 23, prompting President Rodrigo Duterte to place the entire island of Mindanao under martial law for 60 days. —Jon Viktor D. Cabuenas/ALG, GMA News
