Indonesia military seizes 5,000 cannabis plants in Highland Papua raid

Indonesian military forces conducted a raid in Highland Papua, seizing 5,000 cannabis plants from two illicit farms in Kima and Air Garam villages within Yahukimo District. The operation was carried out by the Habema military task force based on a tip-off about illegal cultivation. At Kima village, approximately 3,000 cannabis plants were found, while Air Garam village yielded around 2,000 plants, along with one bow and 26 arrows. Military authorities are investigating the case alongside local police to identify those responsible. This raid is part of a larger inter-agency effort to combat drug trafficking and safeguard communities in Papua. Related reports indicate that much of the cannabis in Papua is smuggled from Papua New Guinea.
