Press Release

 1. On April 4, the occupying Turkish army launched an operation in the area between Trabron’s Tonya district and the Kürtün district of Gümüşhane with the support of unmanned aerial vehicles and armoured vehicles.

 Within the scope of the Martyr Ozan and Martyr Roza Dersim Revolutionary Campaign, our forces put under surveillance an operation unit. The operation unit which was put under surveillance for some time was targeted by our forces at 14.00 hours.

 Our forces have entered the place where the enemy unit was positioned and hit the enemy soldiers at close range. Many soldiers have jumped over cliffs in an attempt to flee in this action where the enemy unit was hit effectively. Our forces have gone over the bodies of five enemy soldiers here. Following this action where tens of enemy soldiers were wounded, the occupying Turkish army carried away dead and wounded soldiers from the area with two Sikorsy-type helicopters and one ambulance. The operation launched in the area continues.
