Reports from United Nations and police officials have confirmed a horrific incident in Papua New Guinea's north, where at least 26 individuals were killed by a gang in three remote villages. The acting Provincial Police Commander described the scene as devastating, with men, women, and children among the victims of the attack.
The violence, which occurred on July 16 and July 18, was reportedly sparked by a dispute over land and lake ownership and user rights. The attackers, said to be a group of 30 young men, left a trail of destruction, burning down houses and causing residents to flee in fear.
