The TNI firmly stated that the photo distributed by the Terrorist Separatist Group (KST) or armed criminal group (KKB) related to the attack on the Battalion R 321/GT Task Force in Mugi-Mam, Nduga Regency, Papua, was just a lie or a hoax.

The KKB had spread photos of weapons, munitions, and murder victims behind the attack on members of the TNI.

"From what was distributed this time alone, KST claimed that the number of TNI soldiers from Kopassus who died was 16 people. However, according to our data, 5 people died from the Battalion R 321/DY Task Force, from this side it was already a hoax," said the Head of the TNI, Admiral TNI Julius Widjojono in his statement, Thursday, May 4.

In addition, the law enforcement process from the TNI-Polri will also continue to be carried out. Thus, claims from the KKB will be proven to be just lies or are true.

"So that the news made by the KST gang can be obtained certainty and all claims from the KST Separatist group Egianus Kogoya need to be accounted for," he said.

Therefore, people are asked not to immediately believe the news. This is because this pattern is often used by KKB for certain purposes

"We hope that all parties, not to always believe the narrative of the news conveyed by the KST gang and their sympathizers, because the terrorist patterns are like that," said Julius.
