In a decisive military operation, Indonesia’s armed forces have announced the killing of 18 separatists in Papua’s Intan Jaya region. This move signals a serious escalation in the ongoing tensions between the Indonesian government and separatist factions.
The latest operation by Indonesia’s military occurred in the volatile Papua province, a hotspot of prolonged conflict with separatist groups seeking independence. A military spokesperson confirmed the operation’s success on Thursday.
This action is expected to intensify the already strained relations in the region, as calls for autonomy from the central Indonesian government have only grown louder in recent years.
