PAPUA - Danrem 172/PWY Brigadier General Izak Pangemanan confirmed that the TNI has now controlled Suru-suru District, Yahukimo Regency after the shooting by the Armed Civilian Group (KSB).
Conditions in the area are under control and 70 soldiers have now been stationed in Suru-suru, including combat soldiers.
"Soldiers are ready to secure the area from KSB disturbances," Pangemanan said as quoted by Antara, Tuesday, November 30.
The TNI soldiers could not take further action because KSB took refuge in the community around the three islands.
Pangemanan added, KSB fired from across the river at the location so that its troops only defended while protecting the people in Suru-suru.
Meanwhile, most of the residents have fled to areas that are considered safer and are not located on the banks of rivers.
On Monday, November 29, there was a shootout with KSB. One soldier was injured. Until now, security at the location is starting to be conducive. Members are asked to remain vigilant and alert.
