JAKARTA - Pangdam XVIII/Kasuari Maj. Gen. TNI I Nyoman Cantiasa is furious with the attack by an armed separatist group at the Kisor Koramil post, Mybrat Regency, West Papua. The Military Commander ordered the pursuit of the perpetrators of the attack that killed 4 TNI soldiers.

“First I have ordered the Korem to give chase. I told him that if he dares to hit the table, we must destroy him,” said the Kasuari Military Commander, pounding the table at a press conference, Thursday, September 2.

According to the Kasuari Regional Military Commander, West Papua's conditions have been safe and conducive. The preparatory Koramil post has also been built since 2019 to ensure regional security.

But suddenly an attack appeared which resulted in 4 soldiers being killed.

The bodies of four members of the Indonesian Army who died in the field of duty, namely First Lieutenant CHB Dirman, Praka Muhammad Dhirhamsyah, Pratu Sul Ansyari Anwar, and Sergeant Ambrosius Apri Yudiman lie in the 181/PVT Makorem Hall before being flown to their respective areas of origin on Friday, September 3.

The Commander of the Kasuari Regional Military Command said that the alleged perpetrators of the attack on the Kisor Preparatory Koramil Post in South Aifat District, Maybrat Regency, were the Separatist Terrorist Group (KST) with ideological opposites to the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia.

Meanwhile, the bodies of the four members of the Indonesian Army who died in the field of duty arrived at Makorem 181/PVT Sorong at 23.00 WIT, Thursday, September 2. The bodies of TNI members who died were greeted with a military ceremony in front of the 181/PVT Makorem Hall.
