TEMPO.CO, Timika - A group of armed men shot at a patrol car used by PT Freeport Indonesia's security from the TNI. The shooting occurred at about 11:04 local time on the East Dam of PT Freeport. There were no fatalities in the incident.
"The car broke down and shots were fired between the TNI officers and the attackers," T. Simanjuntak, a Freeport staffer, said yesterday (8/4).
The TNI officers who served at the site reported the incident to Lt. Col. Dwi Lagan. They immediately chased after the shooters. Mimika Police Chief Adj. Comm. of Police Jermias Rontini said the police helped the TNI pursue the shooters. The police, he said, are still trying to identify them.
This is not the first time Freeport's patrol car was targeted by armed men. On Saturday, there were also shootings and an arson attack at the area of Freeport Indonesia. A commander of the 754th Battalion and his members were driving past the East Dam when they were shot at by unknown assailants.
