Inp.polri.go.id - Jayapura. Brigadier General Faizal Rahmadani, the Commander of Operation Damai Cartenz, confirmed that 27 members of armed criminal groups (KKB) were killed throughout 2024.

The operation also seized 12 firearms, 788 rounds of ammunition of various calibers, 227 bladed weapons, and 85 communication devices. In addition, 35 KKB bases in Papua Highlands and Central Papua were dismantled.

"From 98 recorded security disturbances by KKB, 15 cases were forwarded to the prosecutor's office for further legal proceedings," he said, as reported by antaranews.com on Wednesday (1/1/2025).

Chief Faizal attributed the success of Peace Cartenz’s law enforcement operations in Papua to the collaboration of multiple parties, including the rescue of New Zealand pilot Philip Mehrtens, who was held by the Egianus Kogoya-led KKB.

“With support from all stakeholders, the pilot was successfully rescued unharmed,” he added.

Damai Cartenz  Operation covers nine regencies in Papua, including Papua Province, Papua Mountains, and Central Papua, focusing on maintaining security and enforcing the law.
