Kapendam Cendrawasih Make Sure No Soldiers Are Taken Hostage By KKB In Nduga

JAYAPURA - Kapendam XVII Cenderawasih Colonel Kav Herman confirmed that there were no TNI soldiers being held hostage by the KKB in Mugi, Nduga Regency. "It is not true that there are soldiers who are being held hostage by KKB in Mugi because all of them have been evacuated to Timika at this time," Herman said as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, May 4. What KKB revealed on social media including photos of firearms, that is not true. The ammunition and the figure of the person who was the victim of the murder claimed from the attack on the soldiers of the Yonif R 321/GT Task Force in Mugi-Mam, Nduga Regency on April 15 last. "KKB often conveys and spreads various narratives containing false news or hoaxes," said Colonel Kav Herman,. He explained that KKB claimed the number of soldiers from Kopassus who died was 16 people, even though from the data it was revealed that five members who died were recorded from the Yonif R 321/DY task force.

Responding to this condition, said Kapendam XVII Cenderawasih, the joint team of the TNI and Polri continues to carry out, so that the news made by the KKB led by Egianus Kogoya needs to be accounted for. "People are asked not to immediately believe the news submitted by the KKB and its sympathizers," Herman emphasized.
