Maute gunman hits armored personnel carrier with RPG
A video taken supposedly on the first day of the Marawi City clashes between the Armed Forces and the lawless Maute group showed how a suspected bandit hit what looked like an armored personnel carrier with a rocket-propelled grenade.
According to Jun Veneracions exclusive report on "24 Oras", a Marawi City resident GMA News the video that was taken during a clash that happened in the outskirts of the city.
The report said the bandits in the shaky video were not from Maranao. Some were even heard speaking in Taglog.
An suspected Maute member was seen holding an RPG launcher which he aimed at the APC. The video showed the APC billowed smoke after it was hit.
PNP chief Director General Ronald Dela Rosa on Tuesday confirmed that the Maute Group captured one of the PNP's APCs.
The APC has yet to be recovered in Marawi City. —Joseph Tristan Roxas/NB, GMA News
