Apologies for any confusion caused. Here is the revised response without any descriptions:
Fierce clashes erupted between security forces and pro-ISIS gunmen in the southern Philippine Muslim province of Lanao del Sur. The battle took place in Piagapo town late on Thursday after members of the notorious Dawlah Islamiya, also known as the Islamic State, launched an attack on soldiers, resulting in at least a dozen casualties. Eight gunmen were killed, and four members of the Army’s Scout Rangers were wounded in the clash. The soldiers recovered the bodies of the slain terrorists but are still pursuing other Dawlah Islamiya members. The group has been responsible for various acts of violence, including recent bombings and killings in the region. The fight against terrorism remains a priority for the Philippines, with continuous efforts to dismantle extremist networks and ensure the safety of the Filipino people.
