Contrary to claims made by 10th ID spokesperson Lt. Col. Lyndon Paniza that the military merely sustained three wounded, MAC-NPA spokesperson Comrade Rigoberto Sanchez reported that the Philippine Army's elite unit suffered 11 casualtes (eight dead and three wounded).
Taliwas sa sinabi ng tagapagsalita ng 10th ID na si Lt. Col. Lyndon Paniza na tatlo lamang ang nasugatan sa panig ng militar, iniulat ni Ka Rigoberto Sanchez, tagapagsalita ng MAC-BHB na nagtamo ng 11 kaswalti (walong patay at tatlong sugatan) ang pinakapiling yunit ng Philippine Army.
