MANILA—Four drug suspects were killed in a buy-bust operation in Bongao, Tawi-Tawi early Tuesday, the military said.

The operation also resulted in the death of a member of police Special Action Force and wounding of 3 others, the Philippine Air Force said in a statement.

Government troops conducted the buy-bust operation against a certain Ibno Sahud Jaani, known as Suyung, in Barangay Luuk Pandan at 3:30 a.m. Jaani and his cohorts allegedly resisted arrest and fought back that resulted to a firefight against anti-narcotics operatives, policemen and soldiers.
