PAPUA - Military Resort Commander 172/PWY, Brigadier General Izak Pangemanan, admitted that currently, Bingki Village is empty due to residents fleeing to Dekai, the capital of Yahukimo Regency.

"There have indeed been reports that Bingki residents have fled to Dekai since Thursday, June 24 by the river and by road", said Military Commander Pangemanan in Jayapura as quoted by Antara, Friday, June 25.

The displaced residents may have arrived at Dekai. He admitted that until now it is not known exactly how many Bingki residents have fled.

But what is certain is that the village is empty because they are afraid that the Armed Separatist Group (KSB) will attack the village again

Moreover, their village head was also a victim, namely Obaja Nang, who was previously reported dead. However, it turned out to be critical and was taken along with the displaced residents.

Meanwhile, the bodies of the four construction workers who were victims have been evacuated to Dekai by helicopter.

"The body is still at the Dekai Hospital for an autopsy", he explained.

The four construction workers who were victims of the KSB attack were Suardi, Sudarto, Idin, and Ipa.
