TNI denies use of rockets to chase armed group

The first news …..

The Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI) have denied using rockets to chase members of an armed group that
had allegedly burnt down houses in Tembagapura, Papua.

"We affirmed that during the operation (to hunt down the armed group members), the TNI did not use
weapons, such as rockets. The soldiers only used 5.56-caliber SS I rifles," Head of the Communication
Division of Cenderawasih Regional Military Command, Colonel Muhammad Aidi, stated here on
Thursday (Apr 5).

Officers of the TNI (TNI AD/Indonesian Army in particular) and local police noted that some 1,059
people reside in the six villages. Some people live in the plantation area around Opitawak Hamlet while
some others in front of the Kingmi Kimbeli Church, with the food supplies running low.

The TNI has denounced the armed group's statement that the people fled to the forest.

The TNI believes that members of the armed group are fleeing to Aroanop Hamlet located in the south of
Banti-Opitawak.

"Aroanop is the village that has not yet been recaptured. It is most likely where the members of the armed
criminal group are already staying," Aidi added.

The TNI had not planned to pursue the armed group members, who had allegedly fled to Aroanop Hamlet
since the distance from Banti-Kimbeli and Opitawak to Aroanop Hamlet was quite far.

It takes a day or two on foot to travel from Banti to Aroanop Hamlet through the hilly and forested area.

The TNI reported that an armed group had burnt down 17 houses in Banti Village of Tembagapura
District, Mimika, Papua, from March 24 to April 1, 2018.

The TNI troops then managed to recapture six villages in Tembagapura on April 2, 2018, and continued
to chase the armed group members, who fled to the hills and mountains around Banti and Opitawak.
