As many as 150 people since Thursday (12/1) fled to Sentani using previously chartered aircraft to transport TNI-Polri/ANTARA personnel.

PAPUA - A total of 155 residents of Oksibil, Bintang Mountains Regency, Papua Mountains Province have reportedly fled since last Thursday to Sentani. The Head of Public Relations of the Papua Police, Kombes Beni Prabowo, admitted that 155 people were mostly women and children. They got out of Oksibil on charter planes and military planes that served the Sentani-Oxybil route carrying logistics for soldiers. Residents who fled upon arrival in Sentani, Jayapura Regency, were immediately taken by their relatives. "Oxybil residents who fled upon arrival in Sentani were immediately picked up by their relatives," Beni told ANTARA, Friday, January 13. Erlina from Banyuwangi, East Java, one of the residents who fled to Sentani, Jayapura Regency, using the CN A 2307 aircraft admitted that she was afraid because she heard gunfire almost every night. Since January 7, 2023, almost every night there have been gunshots so that he cannot sell. "Every night I take refuge in the Bintang Mountains Police Headquarters in Oksibil and don't dare to stay at home because the group (KKB) often passes around the house every night," said Erlina, who admitted that she had been selling in Oksibil for two years. An armed criminal group (KKB) since Saturday has reportedly set fire to the Bintang Mountains Disdukcapil Office (Pegubin) and shot an Ikairos plane when it was about to land in Oksibil. It was recorded that there were three KKB leaders in the Bintang Mountains area who often carried out violent acts, namely Lamek Tablo,IMin, and Nason Mimin.
