KUPANG, East Nusa Tenggara: The Air Force has stationed 175
personnel, along with radar and surveillance equipment, in a
subdistrict in Kupang regency to monitor the country's airspace.

The personnel, from the Air Force's special unit, will monitor
the country's airspace along the borders between Indonesia, East
Timor and Australia, said First Marshall Lalu Amdaniq during an
official ceremony in Kupang.

The country has become more sensitive about protecting its
borders since Indonesia and Malaysia deployed warships and jet
fighters to the area around the disputed Ambalat offshore oil
block.-- JP
