Omar Maute and Isnilon Hapilon, top leaders of Islamic State-inspired extremists Maute group, were killed in a battle in Marawi City.
Photos from ABS-CBN sources show the cadavers of Isnilon Hapilon and Omar Maute. The military, however, has yet to issue an official statement regarding the terrorists' death.
The siege of the Islamic City began May this year when Maute, with brother Abdullah, hoisted black flags of the Islamic State group and set Dansalan College on fire.
In June, the brothers' parents- father Cayamora and mother Farhana- were arrested in separate police operations. Cayamora died in August.
Meanwhile, Abu Sayyaf leader Isnilon Hapilon was said to be the anointed ISIS leader in Southeast Asia. The clashes supposedly started when troops tried to serve an arrest warrant on Hapilon.
Since fighting between state forces and the Maute group erupted about 5 months ago, about 753 terrorists have been killed. At least 47 civilians and 155 soldiers also died in the conflict.
The siege has reduced the once-bustling city of Marawi into ruins, with many buildings and even mosques completely destroyed and riddled with bullets and shrapnel.
