#1 The air strikes by two OV-10 Broncos took only seconds, he said, adding that the targets had had no chance to retaliate. At the time, intelligence reports had put the number of terrorists on the ground at 30, he said.

The terrorists were found in a thickly vegetated area under the cover of coconut trees. As per the description of the operation officer, the one conducting the operation, there were coconut trees and the area was thick, and there were tents. They were probably sleeping [when the air strikes started], he said.

The troops on ground have confirmed the deaths of 15 ASG and JI members, Burgos said.
