This is a broadcast of the UN Police in Timor-Leste to provide you with information about the security situation around the country.

The security situation in Timor-Leste has been calm, but the situation in Viqueque remains tense.

Today in Dili, UNPol attended seven incidents. None of the incidents were major. In one of the incidents, a UN car was damaged by rocks near the market in Pantai Kelapa. The rear windscreen was smashed, but there were no injuries.

Yesterday in Dili, police made three arrests: one for extortion, one for assault and one for putting up an illegal checkpoint. The arrests were made in Comoro and Lavandaria.

Police in Viqueque have received a report of three houses – one of which was used as a kindergarten - being set on fire in Kaninuk sub-village on 5 September. No injuries were reported. The police have identified two suspects and are investigating further.

United Nations police officers in conjunction with the PNTL and the International Stabilisation Force remain fully deployed to respond to any disturbances that may emerge.
