The TPNPB, a rebel group in long-standing conflict with the Indonesian military, claimed responsibility and destroyed the plane — which had just delivered seven local villagers. The group warned foreigners working with Indonesian forces to stay away, and this attack is seen as a message to the U.S. over historical agreements and a rebuke to the UN for ignoring Papua’s unresolved crisis. While the Indonesian military denies the plane was used for troop transport, locals are fleeing amid fears of retaliation. The U.S. State Department is coordinating with Indonesian authorities and the pilot’s family, as global calls grow for de-escalation and dialogue.
