Ki-61 "Mustang Jepang" of Indonesian people's security force

In 1945, indonesian people's security force (TKR) captured quite some japanese war materials which allegedly included at least 6 Ki-61s and at least 1 that was actually repaired and used. All of them were lost after the war.

The aircraft was used along with other captured japanese materials against the dutch forces who in 1945 seek to regain control of the former colony.

This is just my take on what one of those Ki-61s roughly look like if they managed to get all of them into service

if you're for some reason interested in postwar indonesian aircrafts

Alleged saltwater crocodile encounter while swimming at night in Indonesia

A resident is suspected to have been attacked by a crocodile while working in the waters of Teluk Betung Village, Pulau Rimau District, Banyuasin Regency, in the early hours of Monday (July 6, 2026).

The victim, identified by the initials I.N. (25), is a resident originally from West Java. The incident occurred at approximately 1:53 a.m. WIB while the victim and three colleagues were repairing the rudder of a jukung (a traditional wooden boat) along the riverbank. After entering the water to assist one of his colleagues, the victim was allegedly attacked by a crocodile and has not yet been found.

Upon receiving the report, officers from the Pulau Rimau Police Sector, together with local authorities and residents, immediately launched a search operation at the scene.

The Banyuasin Police Chief urged the public to exercise greater caution when carrying out activities in or around rivers, particularly at night, and to avoid areas believed to be crocodile habitats.

As of Monday afternoon, the search for the victim was still ongoing.
