RPG high-explosive rounds are unguided explosive projectiles fired from reusable rocket-propelled grenade launchers such as the RPG-7 family. In the Battle of Marawi, Philippine clearing forces reported recovering high-explosive RPG rounds with launchers from the former main battle area, evidence of close-range explosive ammunition associated with IS-aligned Maute group materiel rather than a publicly identified round model.
Philippine officials reported that clearing operations after Marawi's liberation recovered 13 high-explosive RPG rounds and two RPG launchers from a lake area in the former main battle area, with the armaments believed to be from Daesh-inspired Maute group members.
