Two vehicles operating at copper and gold producer PT Freeport Indonesia's (PTFI) mine were targeted in shootings on Sunday and Monday in Timika, Papua. No casualties were reported in the incidents.

"A water tanker was shot at in the Mile 41 area on Monday at around 2 p.m. local time, by unidentified persons as the truck was heading to Post 41 to refill water," Papua Police chief spokesman Adj. Sr. Comr. Sulistio Pudjo said via text message.

He added that the tanker driver, Agustinus Weyai, was unharmed. The perpetrators shot at his truck six times from the left. When police inspected his truck, they found five bullet holes on the left door, tire and radiator.

Earlier on Sunday, unidentified people also fired shots at a Toyota Kijang Innova, driven by Chief Pvt. Warsidi, a Mimika Infantry Brigade personnel.

The incident took place at around 12:55 p.m. local time when the car was on its way from Timika to Mile 50. As the car arrived at Mile 41, it was shot at by unidentified persons from the left and right directions. "There was no casualty in the incident," said Pudjo.

Separately, in a press release, PTFI corporate communication vice president Daisy Primayanti said she had received the reports from the incidents from the command center and that the vehicles were not owned by PTFI, and the drivers were not employed by the company.
