On 9 September 2026 the Yonif 725/Woroagi border task force found about 21,400 ready-to-harvest cannabis plants at Ibiroma Complex in Kurima, Yahukimo, Highland Papua.[1][2]

ANTARA described the discovery as a military operation in difficult terrain, while TALi reported that 78 personnel took part under Operation Kinetik 3.18 and that the plants came from fields in Ibiroma and Hesmat.[1][2]

The plants were uprooted or secured as evidence, and neither account reports an arrest.[1][2]
