JAYAPURA - The AirNav office located in the Sugapa Airport area, Intan Jaya Regency, Papua was burned by the Papuan armed civilian group (KKB) Friday, October 29 at around 16.00 WIT.

"There are indeed reports of arson being carried out by the KKB around the Sugapa Airport area, namely the burning of the Airnav Office", said the Commander of the 1705/Nabire Kodim, Infantry Lieutenant Colonel Anjuanda Pardosi, as reported by Antara, Papua, Friday night.

He stated that there were no casualties in the incident and current employees of the state agencies have fled to the church.

Before setting fire to the fire, the armed gang had a shootout with personnel who are members of the Security Task Force for Vulnerable Areas of the 501/BY Infantry Battalion and the Scrub Task Force.

It was because of this urgency that the armed gang set fire to the Airnav Office of Sugapa Airport. "In recent days, security disturbances by KKB have increased", he said.

It was reported that members of armed gangs were present in every corner around Sugapa District, causing the people, especially those from outside Sugapa, to be afraid and flee to the church.

"Meanwhile, Sugapa residents choose not to go out of their homes because of fear", he said, whose territory includes the Intan Jaya Regency.
