Indonesia says soldier, separatists killed in clashes near Freeport mine

JAKARTA (Reuters) - An Indonesian soldier was shot dead and two separatist rebels killed in clashes with security forces near the giant Grasberg copper mine in Papua operated by Freeport McMoRan Inc, an Indonesian military spokesman said on Tuesday.

A separatist group, however, said that only one of its members had died and that dozens of Indonesian troops were killed in clashes that began on Sunday.

Papua has suffered a simmering separatist conflict since it was incorporated into Indonesia after a widely criticized U.N.-backed referendum in 1969 and foreign media access to parts of the province is often difficult or, at times, restricted.

Papua Military spokesman Muhammad Aidi said the soldier was killed during a joint military and police operation to “reclaim villages controlled by armed criminal separatists”.

“It appears (the separatists) were ready for the security forces and so there was a gun fight with the military,” Aidi said in a statement.

Six villages were still occupied by separatists and indigenous Papuans after more than 1,000 residents were evacuated in November following a string of shootings, he said.

Drone footage showed two separatists were killed and dozens wounded in the clash, he said. No civilians were hurt, but separatists torched a house, a school and a hospital, said Aidi.

According to the West Papua National Liberation Army (TPNPB), a separatist group, one of its members was shot dead in a clash with Indonesian special forces near Banti village early on Sunday morning.

Hendrikus Uwamang, a spokesman for the group, said at least 28 Indonesian security personnel and several guides were also killed in the clash. Fighting continued on Monday and a 10-year-old boy was also killed, when his house was hit by a shell and caught fire, he said.

Papua Police chief Boy Rafli Amar was quoted in state media last week as saying attacks by “armed criminals” had become more frequent lately near the Grasberg mine. Amar could not be reached for comment on Tuesday.Members of Indonesia’s security forces have been accused by rights activists of abducting and torturing Papuans and using deadly force to quell protests.

TPNPB, which is linked to the Free Papua Movement (OPM), says it is at war with Indonesian authorities and wants to “destroy” Freeport in an effort to gain sovereignty for the region.

President Joko Widodo, after coming to power in 2014, had pledged to speed up development of Papua and ease media restrictions.

But while investment has risen and efforts made to address some human rights concerns, activists say foreign journalists continue to be blocked or face obstacles when trying to report there.

Jakarta is currently in talks with Freeport over ownership of Grasberg, and hopes to gain a majority stake in the world’s second-biggest copper mine this month, with the Papua government and a local regency jointly gaining rights to a 10 percent stake.

AFAIK they only have NSM for anti-ship mission and JSM for land-attack missions.

For you, it probably looked bigger bcoz dun have anything to refer the missile size to. Here we have reference of the missile to the reps, so we can see the proportions of the missile matches the reps standing beside it.

here's another photo so u can see what I'm talking about:

Islamist prisoners kill five Indonesian counter-terrorism police

DEPOK, Indonesia (Reuters) - Islamist militant prisoners have killed five members of an elite Indonesian counter-terrorism force at a high-security jail and were holding one of them hostage on Wednesday, police said.

One convicted terrorist had also been killed in clashes at the jail in Depok, on the outskirts of the capital Jakarta, national police spokesman Muhammad Iqbal told reporters.

Authorities were unsure how many people remained inside the prison complex.

“Five of our colleagues died ... one of our colleagues is still inside and being held hostage,” Iqbal said, adding that the hostage was reported to be safe.

It was the highest death toll suffered by the counter-terrorism police force, known as Detachment, or ‘Densus’, 88, which was set up in 2003 and received training and funding from Australia and the United States.

The squad largely broke up militant cells in the world’s largest Muslim-majority country. But a recent spate of low-level attacks inspired by Islamic State prompted authorities to more than double its force to 1,300 late last year.

Chief security minister Wiranto said the incident was being treated “very carefully because it concerns national security”.

Police spokesman Iqbal said the prison, at the Mobile Police Brigade headquarters, held about 130 convicted terrorists, but it was unclear how many were involved in the clashes, which broke out late on Tuesday.

The prisoners are suspected of having taken weapons from the police who were killed.

Police said four officers were negotiating with the prisoners.

“If they surrender, it will be a non-violent process. But if there is a threat to officers or others, we will take very strong action,” Iqbal said.

In a message carried on its Amaq news agency, Islamic State claimed responsibility and said 10 counter-terrorism officers had been killed.

Iqbal denied that Islamic State was involved. He said a dispute had broken out over checks by prison authorities of prisoners’ food.

But another police spokesman, Setyo Wasisto, said some of the prisoners had recently met Aman Abdurrahman, who is believed to be the ideological leader of IS sympathizers in Indonesia. He is on trial for terrorism and is held at the same prison.

Police maintained tight security around the jail and kept onlookers away.

Islamic State sympathizers have carried out a series of mostly low-level attacks in Indonesia over the past few years.

Last year, an attack by two suicide bombers, using pressure cookers packed with explosives, killed three police and wounded 12 people at a Jakarta bus terminal.

In January 2016, four Islamic State-linked militants mounted a gun-and-bomb attack at an intersection outside a Starbucks cafe in central Jakarta, killing themselves and four others.

Security forces shoot dead 4 men in Lahad Datu

LAHAD DATU, May 8 (Bernama) -- Security forces based here shot dead four men believed to be members of a kidnap-for-ransom gang off Sahabat near here, about 13.6 nautical miles from Pulau Malamanuk, Philippines, early today.

Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Ramli Din said an integrated team comprising the eastern Sabah Security Command (ESSCom), 69 Commando unit and Marine Police was patrolling the waters when they intercepted around 2 am, a boat with a number of people on board which was suspiciously speeding towards a fishing boat.

"The security team acted promptly and was approaching the boat when all of a sudden shots rang out. The security team fired back in defence," he told a press conference here today, adding, the bodies of two suspects were found on the boat while another two, floating in the water.

He said the suspects were believed to be in their 20s to 40s and did not have any identification document.

A Remington Rand pistol and a grenade launcher were also seized from the boat, he said.

Ramli said 69 Commando and Marine Police personnel dived into the water in an attempt to retrieve firearm believed to have fallen into the sea from the suspects' grasp during the shootout but had not recovered the weapons.

Meanwhile, he disclosed that the security forces early this year succeeded in foiling 33 attempts of cross border crime in the ESSZone.

Officer, 3 attackers dead in Indonesia police station assault

JAKARTA: Indonesian police shot dead three men on Wednesday (May 16) after one attacked them with a samurai sword, wounding two officers, at Riau police headquarters in Pekanbaru, Sumatra, an internal police report said.

A policeman was also killed in the attack.

One of the dead men had a suspected bomb strapped to his body, the report said. Another man was arrested and four others were suspected to have fled the scene, it said.

The report said that the men had driven their car into the police yard before getting out to stage the attack.

State news agency Antara said two journalists who had been at the police headquarters were also hurt in the attack.

TV footage showed one man lying on the ground with a long sword next to his body.

The group slammed a minivan into a gate and then attacked officers with swords.

"Three officers were injured and one later died in hospital," said local police chief Nandang.

Which forces the vehicle to go slower and doesn't last very long. Not very ideal for combat conditions.

People think run flat tyres are the be-all/end-all for normal pneumatic tyre replacement, when actually they only allow you to get to the nearest repair shop without removing the tyre.

People go like "I don't mind being shot in the tyres, I got run-flats". laugh.gif

I find wheeled military vehicles are not as versatile as tracked ones though. For one they are mostly restricted to roads or hard paths and not so good going off-road. This makes them more prone to ambushes and mines/IEDs at those places.

For rear-area/internal security work wheeled AFVs are still ok, but for conventional battles right at the front line they are more vulnerable.

versatility? wheeled vehicles can do much2 more than a tracked vehicle could do both in strategic and operational mobility
then again advancement on wheeled vehicle tech meant that they can now traverse places that was once only accessible to tracked vehicle

sure tracked vehicle is the heavy-hitters in conventional warfare and they are an essential part of armored warfare
just that their operational cost and restricted operational mobility meant they cant be deployed on moments notice

both vehicle have pros and cons
just that the prevailing unconventional warfare nowadays have forced the battlefield commanders to look more into the wheeled vehicle role in that aspect
