The standoff in Sabah is over, according to the Philippines' Department of Foreign Affairs.
In a press conference Friday, spokesman Raul Hernandez said Malaysian Ambassador Mohammad Zamri bin Mohammad Kassim met with foreign affairs secretary Albert Del Rosario to inform him that Malaysian authorities had attacked the town of Lahad Datu where 180 men of Sultan Jamalul Kiram has been encamped since February 12.
Quoting the report of the Malaysian Ambassador, Hernandez said 10 of the Sultan’s men had surrendered.
He also said that three people were killed–two members of the Malaysian police and the owner of the house where the Sultan’s brother, Rajah Muda, stayed.
Hernandez said the Foreign office was confirming the Sultan’s claim in Manila that 10 of his men died in the clash.
