2 suspects arrested over Shariff Aguak ambush that killed 5 cops

Two men suspected of being involved in an ambush in Shariff Aguak that resulted in the deaths of five police officers and injuries to three others have been arrested by the Philippine National Police (PNP). The arrests occurred in separate operations in General Santos City and Mamasapano, and the suspects are now in local police custody facing charges of murder and attempted murder. The ambush, which targeted a provincial police unit returning from a patrol, took place in March. The PNP is still searching for approximately 30 other suspects linked to the attack. Authorities also connected the suspects to a separate grenade incident targeting the Armed Forces of the Philippines in July, though they clarified the individuals involved were not the exact perpetrators.
