Inp.polri.go.id - Jayapura. Papua Regional Police Chief Inspector General Mathius D. Fakhiri has deployed a police force, including from the Damai Cartenz Task Force and Jthe oint Regional Defense Command III, to Sugapa in Intan Jaya Regency, Central Papua. 

Their primary objective is to safeguard the region against disruptions by the Armed Criminal Group (KKB), he said..

However, logistical constraints have delayed troop deployment to Intan Jaya as two helicopters of the Damai Cartenz Task Force are undergoing maintenance, and the Indonesian Military helicopter remains stationed in Boven Digoel.

Despite these challenges, Chief Fakhiri raised his optimism about the deployment to Sugapa, as reported by antaranews.com/

Recent KKB attacks on the Homeyo Police Station on Tuesday has resulted in civilian casualties while the arson of Pogapa State Elementary School on Wednesday underscore the urgency of the situation.
