Clan feud sparks gun battle in Lanao del Sur; 3 soldiers wounded
An armed confrontation reportedly rooted in a long-standing family feud disrupted traffic in Barangay Biosong, Picong in Lanao del Sur on November 7, 2026, leaving three soldiers injured and motorists stranded.

Authorities temporarily blocked sections of the highway as security forces responded to the incident involving members of the Labao and Gaosil clans, whose families have reportedly been embroiled in a rido.

Troops from the 64th Infantry Battalion were deployed to help contain the situation. However, three soldiers sustained injuries after getting caught in the exchange of gunfire.

The temporary road closure lasted around six hours, affecting commuters and other road users passing through the area.

The 101st Infantry Brigade reported that the shooting subsided at approximately 8 p.m. after additional military personnel were sent to reinforce the troops on the ground.

Military and local government authorities are continuing their coordination efforts to prevent renewed hostilities and restore stability in the affected community.
