Indonesians and Malaysians were among foreign militants battling the military after laying siege to a southern Philippine city, the government said on Friday, in a rare admission of what it said was a Daesh "invasion".
The army deployed attack helicopters and Special Forces to drive rebels of the Daesh-linked Maute group out of Marawi City and Malaysians and Indonesians and other foreigners were among six guerrillas killed on Thursday.
