Early morning on the 30th of June, a battle between the Philippine Army and the New People's Army (CTG-NPA) took place in the countryside of Province X.

The Philippine Army had received intelligence days prior that the terrorist group was planning an attack on a nearby village. As a result, the troops were stationed in the forests nearby to intercept the CTG-NPA.

At sunrise, the troops had already been in their ready positions for an hour when the group arrived on the scene. The Philippine Army had expected them to attack the village, but instead they opened fire on the troops.

The troops had no option but to return fire, which resulted in a 15-minute firefight between the two forces. The CTG-NPA had superior numbers and firepower, but the troops were more well-trained and had the advantage of surprise.

The firefight began to take its toll on the Philippine Army as they started sustaining multiple casualties. They had already begun to retreat when they received further reinforcements from a nearby soldier post.

The additional soldiers allowed the Philippine Army to regroup and return fire. The soldiers pushed the CTG-NPA back until the terrorist group was completely pushed out of the scene.

After the firefight ended, the Philippine Army had detained several CTG-NPA members, a number of firearms and explosives were seized, and the troops were able to secure the village.

In the aftermath of the battle, the Philippine Army had sustained heavy losses with 13 dead and 20 injured. The CTG-NPA also suffered heavy casualties with an estimated 20-25 dead, 60 injured, and over 70 members captured.

The firefight had lasted less than an hour, but it marked a momentous victory in the war against the CTG-NPA. The troops had successfully defended the village and prevented the terrorist group's plans to attack it.
