JAKARTA - The Armed Criminal Group (KKB) led by Elkius Kobak continues to spread terror in Papua. Five civilians died in Seradala District, Yahukimo Regency.

Head of Damai Cartenz Operations, Brigadier General Faizal Ramadhani, said that the KKB terror acts led by Elkius Kobak took place on September 20 and 21, 2025.

"We are conducting an in-depth investigation following the violent act that killed five civilians by the KKB led by Elkius Kobak," Faizal said in his statement, Wednesday, September 24.

Based on witness testimony, the KKB led by Elkius Kobak attacked him with mining work to death. The attack was carried out on Jalan Poros Kampung Bingki, Seradala District, Sunday, September 20.

The next day, the KKB launched another attack on Camp Kali Kulum. The group used arrows and firearms, causing panic among the miners. In this action, three mining workers again became victims of the KKB's ferocity.

"We received information that three more bodies were victims of this armed criminal group," he said

So, based on temporary information received, there were five victims of the KKB violence. However, this still requires further confirmation.

"The information we got is five," he added

So far, efforts to find information about the number and identity of the victim have not been able to produce results. This is because the team has not succeeded in reaching the location of the case (TKP).

"Until now we haven't reached the scene. Yesterday we tried to come, but there was a shootout that didn't allow us to continue the journey," said Faizal.
