Press Release

1.  Within the scope of the Martyr Bager and Martyr Ronya Revolutionary Campaign, our forces carried out effective actions against the invading Turkish army. In this context:

 On June 14, around 4.30, our forces destroyed military equipment on the Devê Masi hill in Çelê (Çukurca) district of Hakkari. Following the action, the invading Turkish army launched an operation in the area and moved towards the hill. Our guerrillas carried out a series of sabotage actions against the enemy on the same day. 3 enemy soldiers were killed and 2 soldiers were wounded in the actions. Following the action, the invading Turkish army y bombed the operation area with howitzers and mortars indiscriminately. Our guerilla unit has reached its base safely.

 As part of the campaign, on June 9, our YJA Star forces carried out a sabotage action against a contra vehicle heading in the road between the Wargenima outpost in Hakkari's Gever (Yüksekova) district and the defense hill. Two contras were killed in this action targeting contra units. The invading army has served to the public the distorted news that the two killed contras were two civilians working in outpost construction. These individuals had been warned many times before about their collaboration with the enemy. Despite all warnings, these individuals continued to collaborate with enemy forces, leading active enmity against the Kurdish people and freedom movement. Our patriotic people should be vigilant in the wake of such lies spread within the scope of the invading special war concept pursued by the invading Turkish state.

2. On June 7, at 23.00, the invading Turkish army launched an operation in the area of Licok village of Amed's Lice district. In the operation, pursued the invading Turkish army bombed the area with the support of disguised units and unmanned aerial vehicles, at 01.15 hours on June 8. Two of our comrades have reached martyrdom in these air attacks. The ID information of our martyr comrades will be shared with the public later on.

2. On June 15, between 22.00 and 23.00, warplanes of the invading Turkish army bombed the village of Enzê in the Kandil region in the Medya Defense Zones. While there was no loss of life in the bombardment, material damage occurred in the vineyards and gardens of the local people.
