Summary
An armed ambush occurred on October 5, 2026, in Barangay Badja, Tipo-Tipo, Basilan, targeting a government convoy. Casualty figures vary across reports, ranging from 10 to 13 wounded personnel, including soldiers and a militiaman. The wounded were airlifted to a hospital at the headquarters of the Western Mindanao Command in Zamboanga City.

Security forces launched pursuit operations to locate Siddick and his followers.
