There had been heavy rains that caused the river to flood and hampered the movement of my troops. But that does not compel us to save the people.
Rain is our friend, we feel tired for the safety of the people and teachers in Aroanop village, and finally at 05.30 WIT on April 19, 2018, my troops can enter Aroanop village, beat back KKSB group and successfully evacuate the teachers and the community there , "Said Colonel Frits.

"I gathered the community and gave them directions that the situation and conditions in the Aroanop compound of six villages we have occupied and the community can resume activities as usual," said Dansatgas.
TNI soldiers are still pursuing KKSB groups totaling about 20 people where they fled to Jagamin which is a way for KKSB group to run away. "We have been chasing and evacuating teachers in the village of Jagamin and securing the area that had become a hiding place KKSB," he explained again.
