The West Papua National Liberation Army (TPNPB), an armed separatist group, claimed responsibility, stating the attack was a 'message' to the US and Indonesian governments for not addressing the conflict's root causes. The TPNPB spokesperson alleged that Gosselin's aircraft had been 'frequently dropping Indonesian military personnel' and warned of further attacks if civilian planes continued to enter rebel-controlled areas. Wirya Artadiguna, a military spokesperson in Papua, confirmed the separatist group's involvement and stated that the military is now searching for the perpetrators and the seven Papuan passengers who were reportedly on board. This incident occurs amidst a long-standing low-level battle for independence in resource-rich Papua, with attacks by independence fighters becoming more frequent and deadly, following a previous high-profile kidnapping of a New Zealand pilot in 2023.
