Maute losing ground – AFP

The terrorist Maute group is racked with infighting, with some members of the Islamic State (IS)-linked group said to have been executed by their leaders for attempting to flee the battle zone in Marawi City, the military said on Monday.

Lt. Col. Jo-ar Herrera, spokesman for the military’s Joint Task Force Marawi, said his unit had received reports that the Maute group, which attacked Marawi City on May 23 and remains locked in battle with government troops, was running low on ammunition.
