Jayapura. An Indonesian soldier suffered minor injuries during a firefight between police and members of the Free Papua Movement (OPM) on the border of the restive Indonesian province and Papua New Guinea on Saturday, the Indonesian Military (TNI) said.
Spokesman of the Cendrawasih Military Command, which oversees the TNI’s operations in Papua and West Papua provinces, Lt.Col. Hikas Hidayatullah, said some 40 members of OPM fired on a watch tower at a military post in Wutung, Jayapura on Saturday morning.
“The separatists also set a billboard on fire and took down the Indonesian flag before they raised the OPM flag,” Hikas told the Jakarta Globe on Saturday.
Hikas said the men skipped over the PNG border after the incident. First.Sgt. Tugiono was wounded by shattered glass during the gunfire but would make a full recovery, he added.
“He has been treated at Marthen Indey hospital,’” Hikas said.
Papuan police spokesman, Sr.Cmr.Pujo Suslityo, said the armed men had been trying to disupt local economic activity.
During the gunfire, six local journalists heading to Vanimo, Papua New Guinea to cover the April 9 legislative elections were held up inside the military post.
“We were stuck there and had to wait until the firefight was over to return to Jayapura,” said Aman Hasibuan, a journalist for Elshinta radio station.
Earlier this month two Papuans from the Moni tribe were shot dead by the National Police’s Mobile Brigade (Brimob) during a clash with police in Jayanti, Timika.
