JAKARTA - Two members of the National Police who were shot by the armed criminal group (KKB) in Makki Village, Ilaga Utara District, Puncak Regency, are now undergoing intensive care at the Emergency Care Installation (IRD) of Mimika Hospital in stable condition.

"The two injured victims are in stable condition. The plan is to carry out a small operation that requires blood transfusions," said Mimika Police Chief AKBP IGG Era Adhinata in Timika, reported by Antara, Tuesday, April 27.

The two Polri members who are currently undergoing treatment at the Mimika Hospital IRD are named Muhammad Syaifiddin, Mimika Police members were hit by a KKB bullet in the stomach and Ipda Anton Tonapa was hit by a KKB bullet shot in the upper back.

The two of them are members of the Nemangkawi Task Force for law enforcement operations against the KKB that masterminded a series of violent acts, both shootings and burning of public facilities, in Puncak Regency.

The two members of the National Police were shot by KKB bullets when joint TNI / Polri officers attacked Lumawi Headquarters in Makki Village, North Ilaga District, which is a KKB hotbed led by Lekagak Telenggen on Tuesday at around 08.00 WIT.

In that incident, a member of the National Police on behalf of Bharada I Komang Wiranata, a member of the Jakarta Mobile Brigade Pioneer Regiment, died as a national chief.

Bharada Komang's body will be flown to Palembang, South Sumatra, Wednesday, April 28 afternoon, on a Batik Air flight from Timika.

The Mimika Police Chief emphasized that the joint military and police apparatus continued to hunt down the KKB in Puncak Regency which was reported to be fully concentrated around Ilaga, the capital of Puncak Regency.

Entering the second week of April, the KKB spread terror and violence not only to the security forces, but also to civilians, including government officials in Puncak Regency.

Two teachers who served at SD Julukoma and SMP Negeri 1 Beoga on behalf of Oktovianus Rayo and Yonathan Randen were shot dead by KKB in Beoga District.

After that, the KKB burned down the school building, teachers' housing and other people's houses.

The KKB violence continued with the burning of a helicopter belonging to PT Ersa Eastern Aviation which was parked at Aminggaru Ilaga Airport, then the shooting of a motorcycle taxi driver and a high school student in Ilaga. The two victims all died.

Most recently, KKB also shot dead Papua Chief Major General I Gusti Putu Danny Karya Nugraha in Dambet Village, Beoga District, Puncak Regency, Sunday, April 25 evening.

At that time, the BIN Task Force patrol team together with the TNI and Polri Task Force, which were traveling to Dambet Village, were intercepted by the KKB, resulting in shooting at the village church building in Dambet Village.
