Amaq also argues that some 70 servicemen of Philippines security forces were killed in clashes. However, this part is likely a common propaganda.
Defense chief Delfin Lorenzana said on Wednesday that only 3 government fighters were killed in clashes. According to media reports, some 12 troops were injured in clashes with terrorists.
