Armed men fire at army detachment in Ilocos Sur

Armed men fired at an Army camp in Cervantes town in Ilocos Sur province Tuesday, with police not discounting the possibility the attackers were communist New People's Army rebels.

No one was initially reported hurt in the incident at the camp of the Army's 81st Infantry Battalion, GMA Ilocos reported on Wednesday.

Recovered from the scene were a shell from an M-14 rifle and bloodied pieces of bamboo.

Police are looking into whether the attackers were NPA rebels.

"Hindi pa natin mai-establish kung ano motive nun, mga unknown perpetrators yun. Hindi naman sinabi kung taga-kabila," said Ilocos Sur provincial police community relations head Superintendent Marlo Castillo. — Joel Locsin/LBG, GMA News
