Press Release
Our forces continue to carry out successful and effective actions against the occupation operation in the Zap. The occupiers did not expect such resistance from the guerrillas and are in a state of shock. They have suffered heavy casualties and the fighting continues.
Likewise, the bombardments and the movements of fighter jets over our territories continue uninterruptedly. The Turkish state is trying to cover up its losses by spreading reports of killed guerrilla fighters in its special war media. These reports are completely bogus and do not correspond to reality.
