Ambush in Papua New Guinea: Dozens killed by gunfire in the Highlands region.

Authorities in the isolated Highlands region of Papua New Guinea report that dozens of people have perished in a tribal conflict.

A national police spokesman told the news that the victims were shot dead during an ambush in Enga province over the weekend.

Although there has always been violence in the Highlands, these killings are thought to be the deadliest in recent memory.

Illegal firearms have increased the death toll from fights and fueled a cycle of violence.

At first, the authorities reported that at least 64 individuals had died. But according to later reports, they had tallied incorrectly and reduced the number to 26.

In the area close to Wabag, which is about 600 kilometers (373 miles) northwest of the capital Port Moresby, police began gathering bodies.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) was informed by Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary Acting Supt George Kakas, “This is by far the largest [killing] I’ve seen in England, maybe in all of the Highlands as well.”

We’re all emotionally exhausted and heartbroken. It’s quite difficult to understand.”

According to media reports, police were sent explicit images and videos purported to be from the scene that showed bodies being placed onto a truck.

Growing tribal strife, frequently centered on land and income distribution, resulted in a three-month lockdown in Enga last July, during which the authorities enforced movement restrictions and a curfew.In the area close to Wabag, which is about 600 kilometers (373 miles) northwest of the capital Port Moresby, police began gathering bodies.
