Turkish army helicopters targeted and fired on a group of kolbars. 16-year-old Elişan Ehmedi and 19-year-old Sozdar Ehmedi lost their lives in the attack.

The bodies of the two kolbars were taken to Hakkari Forensic Medicine Institute after being kept under the sun for hours.

A kolbar named Ş.I., who lives in the village of Kurani, talked about the moment and the aftermath of the attack. Stating that they were fired from by helicopters, Ş.I. said: "A kolbar who survived the strike called us and said that they had been fired at from a helicopter. After that, we lost contact. We learned that the bodies of our friends were removed from the area where the incident took place on Monday evening. The bodies were kept under the sun for hours. We don't know what the condition of the detainees is."

Sadesh Pilifken, a resident of the village of Kurani said that after the kolbars were killed, the border was kept under artillery fire for hours.
