KKB burns PT DHR's heavy equipment in the Bintang Mountains



An armed criminal group on Monday (12/9) night at around 20.00 WIT set fire to a number of heavy equipment belonging to PT DHR which was carrying out road construction from Oksebang District to Kiwirok in the Bintang Mountains Regency, Papua.

"The arson of the heavy equipment was only discovered at around 23:00 WIT when dozens of DHR employees arrived in Oksibil and reported the case to the Bintang Mountains Police," Head of Public Relations of the Papua Regional Police Commissioner Ahmad Kamal told ANTARA in Jayapura, Tuesday.

From the reports received, explained Kamal, there were six units of heavy equipment that were burned by KKB, namely five excavators and one bulldozer. At the time of the incident, as many as 24 employees of PT DHR were in the company camp.

"However, of the 24 employees, 16 of them managed to escape and arrived in Oksibil until this case was revealed," said Kamal.

Kamal added that from the reports received, the perpetrators of the heavy equipment burning were the Ngalum Kupel Group led by Lamek Taplo and the Snow Meme group of Nason B. Mimin.

PT DHR is currently working on a road from Oksebang District to Kiwirok in the Bintang Mountains District.

Regarding the death toll in the KKB attack, the Head of Public Relations of the Papua Police said that until now there have been no reports of casualties.

"Hopefully there will be no casualties, but to be sure we are still waiting for a report from the Pegubin Police (Bintang Bintang)," said Kombes Kamal.
