"The body will be buried in the Kalibata Heroes Cemetery (TMP) and posthumously promoted to Major General," he explained in a written statement, Monday, April 26.

According to him, being killed in the field of duty is the highest pride of intelligence personnel.

"The fall of Kabinda Papua is a tangible form of BIN's sacrifice in defending the sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia. This incident has also become a symbol of BIN's dedication in implementing the law, namely as the front line in the national security system," he explained.

"This incident will not dampen the mental and morale of intelligence personnel and other security forces in eradicating all national threats," said Wawan.
