 Trigana Air B 737-300SF in Belly Landing and skidded down the runway 

A Trigana Air Service Boeing 737-300 freighter, registration PK-YSY performing flight IL-7341 from Jayapura to Wamena (Indonesia) with 2 crew, landed on Wamena’s runway 15 at about 07:30L (22:30Z Sep 12th) but touched down very hard in a nose high attitude, left the left main gear behind, the right main gear collapsed, and the aircraft slid on nose gear, belly and both engines to a halt on the runway. There were no injuries, the aircraft sustained substantial damage.
A ground observer reported, the cloud base was about 150-200 feet, the aerodrome features no instrument approaches and thus is strictly visual approach only. A Trigana Boeing 737-300 landed successfully a few minutes earlier, then PK-YSY was seen breaking out of cloud, correcting to the right and pitching down to descend towards the runway. The aircraft subsequently touched down very hard in a nose high attitude, the left main gear separated from the airframe, the right main gear collapsed, and the aircraft skidded on nose gear, both engines and the belly to a halt right of the right hand edge of the runway past the new apron. The airport is currently closed.
