 "14 communist rebels killed in clash with troops: Philippines military")
Representational Image Manila: The Philippine military says 14 communist rebels were killed in a clash with government troops south of the capital days after President Rodrigo Duterte officially terminated peace talks with insurgents and warned of a violent crackdown.
Capt Melchor Durante, an army spokesman, said today two other rebels wounded in the clash in Nasugbu town, around 70 km south of Manila, were evacuated to a hospital.
The rebels' death toll in last night's encounter is the biggest in recent months. Five soldiers suffered minor injuries.
The communist rebellion in the Philippines has raged for 48 years, making it one of Asia's longest. Peace negotiations between the insurgents and Duterte's administration were earlier suspended due to sporadic clashes, and formally terminated by the government on November 23.
