Seconds of the TNI prepare for alert to combat Natuna from China
The TNI has alerted a number of defense equipment. The defense equipment that has been alerted is the 3 ships of the Republic of Indonesia (KRI), 1 maritime storage aircraft and 1 Air Force Boeing aircraft. There are still 2 more KRI heading to Natuna.
This operation was carried out because of the presence of Chinese ships that entered and violated the exclusive economic zone or Indonesia's Zee in Natuna waters.
Related to this issue, previously the Indonesian government through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Chinese Ambassador in Jakarta and delivered its strong protest. Kemenlu said, the Chinese Ambassador recorded the protest posted to immediately be forwarded to Beijing.
Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto also behaved. Special Staff for Public Communication and Inter-Institutional Relations of the Minister of Defense, Dahnil Anzar, explained that Prabowo stressed that the Natuna-Lut Southern China Dispute must be resolved.
A number of foreign vessels owned by China entered the waters of Natuna. These Chinese ships were declared to have violated ZEE Indonesia. With the Chinese coast guard in Natuna waters, this also violates the sovereignty of the Indonesian state.
Former KKP Minister Susi Pudjiastuti was furious to find out the Chinese ship that entered the waters of Natuna. According to him, the KKP could take firm action against the Chinese ships. tni siaga tempur perairan natuna kapal china
