PAPUA - The Cartenz Peace Task Force shot a member of an armed criminal group (KKB) carrying a firearm in Kiwirok, Bintang Mountains Regency, Papua, Friday, October 28.
The Head of the Bintang Mountains Police, AKBP Cahyo Sukarnito, confirmed the incident. The shooting occurred at around 06.48 WIT.
The shooting of the KKB was after the Kiawirok Post Preventive Task Force sniper monitored the presence of three suspected KKB people carrying a firearm towards the end of the upper runway.
After seeing this, said the Police Chief, Brimob members shot the gun carrier and fell.
"It is suspected that the person concerned died, then the body and weapon were seen being brought by his colleague," he explained to Antara in Jayapura, Friday, October 28.
The existence of three KKB members carrying one firearm was monitored from the air through a drone flown by Brimob members.
As a result of the incident, said Cahyo Sukarnito, the National Police helicopter which will withdraw personnel in Kiwirok was canceled because the weather was also not supportive.
"The weather factor also caused the helicopter to cancel its trip to Kiwirok," he explained.
