MARAWI CITY — After the guns were silenced by bad weather on Tuesday night, the military resumed airstrikes Wednesday morning in a bid to flush out remaining militants occupying portions of the city. Lt. Col. Jo-ar Herrera, spokesperson for the military’ Joint Task Force Marawi, said the airstrikes were aimed at about 80 gunmen who were still holding high-rise defensive positions. In Linamon, Lanao del Norte, the local government has urged officials in its eight villages to prevent the entry and recruitment of the terrorists. Linamon Mayor Randy Macapil urged the barangay officials to identify, register and report any presence of non-residents in their villages.
