TANGERANG - The Chief of Staff of the Indonesian Army General Maruli Simanjuntak revealed new information about the condition of TNI soldiers in Lebanon. In the midst of the death of three personnel, there were additional reports of members who were being treated, but the data was not complete.
"There are people who are in the hospital, how many people. From the Army there are two people. But we haven't received detailed information," said KSAD Maruli at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Saturday, April 4.
He emphasized that the information received was still limited and could not be ascertained in full, including the latest developments in the field.
According to KSAD Maruli, TNI soldiers who are still serving in Lebanon have been equipped with standard operating procedures (SOP) to deal with emergency situations, including protection in bunkers.
"Actually they already have SOP for how to do certain things," he said.
However, he admitted that he could not explain the level of security of the assignment location in detail.
The TNI will wait for the official report from the TNI Headquarters which will communicate directly with personnel in the field. An investigation will also be carried out to ensure the sequence of events that occurred.
For the families of soldiers, KSAD Maruli asked to remain calm. He emphasized that the personnel had understood their duties, even though the risk still existed.
"Don't worry. They know what to do. But everything has risks," said KSAD Maruli.
