Philippine army captures Daesh command center in Marawi

‘Military forces in the Philippines have captured the command center of the Takfiri Daesh militants in a southern city that the terrorists have occupied for nearly four months.
The military chief of the city of Marawi, which Daesh terrorists took over in May, said on Sunday that forces had captured the militants’ command center after a fierce battle and were currently engaged in a mopping-up operation.
“This enormous (military) gain further weakened the terrorist group by denying them their erstwhile command and control hub,” military chief General Eduardo Ano said in a statement.
“As follow-up and clearing operations continue, we expect the enemy to yield more previously occupied positions, but not without a fight,” he said. “We are ready for that.”’
