一名来自印度尼西亚的渔民在巴布亚新几内亚的专属经济区(EEZ)被枪杀。

据报道，事件发生于8月22日，与巴布亚新几内亚国防军（PNGDF）的成员有关。

据媒体报道，渔船为印度尼西亚旗的KMN Calvin 02，一艘巴布亚新几内亚国防军巡逻艇在巴布亚新几内亚领海内靠近该渔船，并开火，导致一人死亡。

虽然事件发生的具体至今仍不清楚，但在印度尼西亚的媒体的报道中，最初提到的，开火的是一艘澳大利亚军舰。

澳大利亚政府对此予以否认。

一名印度尼西亚渔船船员表示，如果他没有弄错的话，军舰PNGDF的船体编号为401，这就与HMPNGS泰德·迪罗相对应了。

HMPNGS泰德·迪罗是澳大利亚交付给巴布亚新几内亚的第一艘守护级巡逻艇。

据报道，澳大利亚已承诺向PNGDF提供四艘护卫舰，并计划装备未指明的武器。

消息人士进一步向公开防务部门证实，在此期间，武装巴新的守护级船只的工作尚未开始。

通过开源手段（包括AIS数据）追踪KMN Calvin 02和Ted Diro的努力没有成功。

然而，美国海岸警卫队（USCG）发布的照片突出显示，当USCG Oliver Henry于8月14日抵达马努斯海军基地时，三艘护卫舰中的两艘正在港口。

鉴于巴布亚新几内亚的卫士级巡逻艇目前还没有配备任何大口径武器，枪击事件似乎是由拥有小武器的巴布亚新几内亚国防军的军官实施的。

据报道，有媒体在试图联系澳大利亚国防部和巴布亚新几内亚政府征求意见。

然而，他们在本文发出前并没有回答相关问题。

据悉，随着新冠肺炎疫情的爆发，印尼渔民在巴布亚新几内亚专属经济区和澳大利亚进行的非法捕鱼活动已经激增。

2021，几艘位于印尼的渔船也在澳大利亚海岸被烧毁，导致了一场外交事件。

8月24日，一名国防部发言人向公开国防部报告，国防部知道本周公布的媒体关于新几内亚南海岸一名印度尼西亚渔民死亡的报道。澳大利亚人员和船只没有参与事件。

8 月 24 日，国防部发言人向公开国防部报告说，国防部对于印度尼西亚的渔民死亡的媒体报道已知悉，澳大利亚人员和船只没有参与此次事件。

英文原文：

A fisherman from Indonesia was shot within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Papua New Guinea (PNG). The report from news sources is that some members associated with the Papua New Guinea Defense Force (PNGDF) carried out the shooting that killed the victim on Monday, 22 August. Per reports from the media, an Indonesian-flagged fishing vessel named the KMN Calvin 02 was approached within the PNG territorial waters by a PNGDF patrol boat that reportedly opened the fire, taking the life of one.

While the sequence of events remains unclear until now, media reports in Indonesia initially mentioned that an Australia-based warship had opened fire. However, the Australian Government has denied this.

A member of the Indonesian fishing boat crew, who discussed with KabarPaupa.com, mentioned that if he was not mistaken, the warship PNGDF had a hull number, 401, that corresponds to the HMPNGS Ted Diro.

The latter is the first Guardian-class patrol boat delivered by Australia to PNG. Australia has reportedly committed to providing the PNGDF with four Guardian-class vessels that it plans to equip with unspecified weapons.

Sources further confirmed to the Overt Defense that, during this time, works to arm PNG’s Guardian-class vessels are yet to start.

Efforts to track the KMN Calvin 02 and Ted Diro via open-source means, including AIS data, were unsuccessful. However, photos released by the US Coast Guard (USCG) highlight that two of the three Guardian-class patrol vessels were in the port at the Manus Naval Base when the USCGC Oliver Henry reached on 14 August.

Given that Guardian-class patrol boats of the PNG are not so far armed with any big calibre weapons, it seems possible that the shooting was carried out by the PNGDF officers who were empowered with small arms.

Overt Defense tried contacting Australia’s Department of Defence and the PNG government for comments. However, they didn’t reply with answers to questions before the publication.

Illegal fishing carried out by Indonesia’s fishers has exploded within PNG EEZs and Australia with the onset of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, several Indonesia-based Fishing Boats were also burnt off the coast of Australia, resulting in a diplomatic incident.

On 24 August, a Defence spokesperson reported to the Overt Defense that the Defence department knows about the media reports published this week regarding the death of a fisherman from Indonesia off New Guinea’s south coast. Australian personnel and vessels weren’t involved in the incident.
