An entire family was massacred by soldiers of the 43rd IB at Kilometer 9, Barangay Happy Valley, San Isidro in Northern Samar last November 18, 2022. The fascist-terrorist soldiers claimed that the victims were NPA fighters killed in an encounter. The area has been under intense combat operations.

In the last quarter of 2022, the military conducted a series of at least three bombings in the province. On October 1, 2022, at least 25 artillery shells were fired by soldiers using 105mm and 155mm howitzers hitting farms in Barangay Paco, Las Navas, Northern Samar. This was followed by another bombing in Barangay San Isidro on November 11, 2022.
