Press Release

1. The invasion operation of the invading Turkish army against the Xakurkê region of Medya Defense Zones continues. The invading forces bombed the Şikêrê Sipi, Martyr Ahmet Hill and Martyr Beritan area with warplanes and helicopters between July 13 and 19.40 and July 14 at 01.00.

Following the bombardment, the invading forces carried out setdowns with the Skorsky helicopters to Şikêrê Sipi and Martyr Ahmet hill and invaded these areas.

The Turkish special war media has been making propaganda about the process and talking about a second operation. The invading Turkish army, which keeps the Kurdistan mountains under constant bombardment by mobilizing all the technological means in its hand, will face the resistance of the guerrilla at any moment. The invading Turkish army, which suffers heavy blows from our guerilla forces every day, served to the public that a new operation was launched by distorting their defeat. It is obvious that the occupying forces, who think that they have gained dominance by keeping some hills, will have the most effective answer and suffer heavy blows.

 We did not suffer any losses in these attacks.

2. On July 14th (today) at 00.30, the warplanes of the occupying Turkish army bombed the Kesta area of the Metina region in the Medya Defense Zones. We did not have any losses in these bombardments.
