JAKARTA - A joint team led by the Head of the Intel Korem 172/PWY Section, Lieutenant Colonel Cavalry Kristyanto, conducted an investigation related to the case of an armed group attack on the Mupe Task Force Post that killed two personnel and injured eight members of the Indonesian Navy Marine Corps.
The commander of Korem 172 PWY, Brigadier General Izak Pangemanan, said the team had already headed to Kenyam and would immediately conduct an investigation.
The purpose of the investigation was to ascertain the chronology and cause of the attack, even though previously there was information that an armed group would attack.
"The investigation team sent to Kenyam also includes military police and will be in Kenyam for several days," Pangemanan said, quoted by Antara, Monday, March 28.
KKB attacked the Mupe Task Force Post (estuary and waters) in Kenyam, including Monday at around 13.15 WIT.
From the reports received, armed groups opened fire on the Koteka Post which was escorted by the 3rd Marine Battalion which was under the airport. The shot was from across the river but the sound was heard even as far as the plane was about to land because the crime scene was at the bottom of the Kenyam airport area.
"There were no casualties in the incident, even members of the Marines fought back by shooting at KSB," he said.
An armed group led by Egianus Kogoya, Saturday, March 26, attacked the Mupe Task Force Post in Kware Bawah, killing two Marines and injuring eight.
