- the bombardment carried out by Turkish warplanes at around 13:30 yesterday, has started a fire in the forests in Kunishka area of Zap region.
2. Two civilian cars were also bombed by Turkish warplanes near the village of Goshine in Xakurke region. A civilian named Mansur Nafih lost his life while three other civilians were injured in the attack.
The deliberate attack once again shows that the occupiers are not only against the Liberation Movement but against the population in the entire region. The fascist Turkish state has repeatedly carried out direct attacks on civilians and residential areas, exposing not only its hostility against Kurds but also its desire to depopulate the whole region. With his invasion operation, it wants to achieve complete control of Southern Kurdistan and to place the entire population under its tyrant and colonial rule. Those who turn a blind eye to these attacks by the Turkish state and thus conduce to civilian deaths are accomplices in this crime as much as the occupiers themselves. The attacks of the Turkish state totally contradict the interests of the Kurdish people and harm the Kurdish unity. Through these attacks, the occupiers also try to disrupt the national unity of the Kurds. Our people should stand against these occupiers who have no right to attack these lands, and they should make sure that none from our people suffers the slightest harm. Kurdistan Liberation Guerrillas, we will not leave an attack on the Kurdish people unanswered. We extend our condolences to the family of Mansur Nafih and the entire people of Southern Kurdistan.
