VOICED : Fuerzas especiales de EEUU apoyan en Filipinas contra yihadistas

US Special Forces are assisting the Philippine Army in expelling jihadist fighters from Marawi, who entered under the ISIS flag. The US Embassy confirmed this without further details. Recent clashes resulted in 13 Filipino soldiers' deaths, with a total of 58 military, 138 jihadists, and 20 civilian casualties since the conflict began two weeks ago. The jihadists control 10% of Marawi, a predominantly Muslim city in a Catholic-majority country. Most civilians have fled, but around 2,000 remain trapped. A 15-year-old boy was killed by a stray bullet inside a mosque. The Philippines declared martial law in Mindanao, viewing the attack as an ISIS project to establish a foothold in the region.
