Capt. Arvin Encinas, spokesman of the Army's 6th Infantry Division, said troops of Marine Battalion Landing Team-2 encountered the armed men in Sitio Sinapsap, Barangay Sangay in Kalamansig, Sultan Kudarat around 2:50 pm.

He said troops where conducting security operation in response to the reported presence of armed men in Barangay Sangay.

"A Marine trooper suffered a serious injury and died at a hospital in Cotabato City. He paid the ultimate sacrifice in fighting terrorism in Central Mindanao," he said. The Marine's dead was not revealed by Encinas.

"Both soldiers suffered multiple shrapnel wounds in different parts of their bodies," said Encinas.

Encinas said the wounded soldier is in stable condition.
