Philippine military spokesman Restituto Padilla said police were in full control of an incident at an entertainment resort in the capital Manila early on Friday and the military was monitoring the situation.

A fire was burning on the second floor of the Resorts World Manila building, Fire Protection bureau spokesman Ian Manalo said.

Gunshots and explosions rang out in an entertainment resort in the Philippine capital Manila early on Friday as local media reported armed men were inside the complex.

Resorts World Manila said on social media it was in lockdown and police were in control of the situation. "We ask for your prayers during these difficult times," Resorts World said on Twitter.

Witnesses who spoke to radio stations said several gunmen were seen in the complex. News channel ANC said there were two gunmen, wearing masks and black clothes. The information could not be immediately verified.

There were reports of injuries by witnesses, including a SWAT member, who rushed to the scene and was reportedly fired upon by unidentified men.

Pictures circulated on social media of the resort, close to the city's airport, of plumes of smoke pouring out of a building. A source told Reuters buildings were being evacuated and declined to give more details.

The incident is unfolding amid a 10-day deadly siege by Muslim militants aligned to the Islamic State group in the southern city of Marawi. The attack has sparked fears that the militants may attack elsewhere to divert the focus of thousands of troops trying to quell the siege.

The SITE Intelligence Group, a U.S. terrorism monitor, said an Islamic State-linked Filipino operative who provides daily updates on the ongoing clashes in Marawi claimed that "lone wolf soldiers" of the Islamic State group is responsible for the attack at Resorts World Manila.

An English message by the operative was distributed across several pro-IS Telegram chat groups, SITE said. According to SITE, he wrote: "The lone wolf soldiers of Khilafah attack the heart of Kufar the city of Manila in Resort World."

Resorts World Manila has four hotels, with three more under construction, restaurants, a shopping mall and a performing arts theatre. Across from Manila's international airport, it has been a popular tourist destination since opening in 2009.

It will be interesting indeed. However, it is also possible that he might turn into another Assad backed by the Russians in the fight against ISIS.

I think the US and Canada should stay out of all this fighting with ISIS and let Putin deal with it.

it will spill into sabah, then sarawak, then brunei.....and creep into the malay peninsula near the thigh border. tiongs will get slaughtered in the process since they intrude into the region with eyes wide closed.

is there oil in failipines?only bananas and jollibee.most likely it will not be covered,maybe a small paragraph on page 36 of sports USA.

anyway usa will not invade failipines,they already did it once and regretted it remember?even china will regret forming this relationship with failpines,filips have a notorious reputation for yakking and moaning nonstop and going palapang pilipang papalag paso pang pilipang in international news,with their chief yakker dutertard.

Heard that "tourists" were affected by the attack on the resort. Have been to Manila & I don't feel that it is a good place for "tourists"This is the same city where 8 Hong Kong tourists were killed in a gun fight.

Manila is what some would call a cowboy country. You will see armed guards protecting malls, armed guards protecting gated communities, businessmen go around with armed bodyguards. Bank guards are armed with impressive machine guns & shotguns.

When someone from the Spore office visited Manila he had to go around with a bodyguard because he was threatened by a filipino businessman. It was just a threat but in the Philippines you have to take threats seriously.

this proves how lucky you are to be a sinkie, thanks to the pap.

ISIS is created by CIA, the shadow government of USA which Trump has no power over.

Duterte will get his ass burnt for bromancing with China and Russia.

This is the reason why LHL is snubbing China because the same fate awaits Singapore if PAP doesn't toe the line.

Immediately the operation over gov said it's a robbery not terrorist attack.

You believe . . . .

Actually it is the PAP who is lucky. They have to thank the gullible sinkies for being so trustful.

Where else could LKY have accumulated the billions he is rumoured to have? Not bad for an "honest" civil servan
All his children are very rich multi-millionairess, if not billionaires.

got to give it to them. to deliver candies and manipulate gullibles to bite every erection cycle for 50 years are not easy feats. 2 generations, if not 3, will figure out sooner or later, but looks like 6.9 generations of sinkies will continue to enjoy getting sodomized in a soixante neuf orgy. at the end of it, majority enjoying the ride is what really counts. not easy to run an amusement park that keeps customers cumming back for more.

if only theres a law one must have a reserved "election" every 5 cycles for minority parties only,parties with less than 40 percent of the votes in the past elections,singapore would have been a much more democratic and less meritocractic,u cannot have one cake and still eat the other cake too.
