It's the latest in a string of deaths as the Army's guerilla fighters trade attacks with Indonesia's military forces who recently mounted a crackdown on the rebels.
The crackdown was ordered by Indonesia's government following the killing of a senior intelligence chief by the Liberation Army in late April.
The government said Papuan fighters, who it now refers to as a terrorist group, killed the Indonesian two soldiers in Yahukimo's Dekai district two days ago.
According to the Liberaton Army, a third Indonesian soldier was injured in the attack, following which the Papuan group stole the soldiers' guns.
