Last night’s clashes in Lêliyê and Xwêran neighborhoods, around the post office in Mesakin neighborhood, and near Kewbeb mountain have continued until this morning. Clashes also continue in many other parts of the city.

In the meantime, 283 regime soldiers and their allied gang members stationed around Kewkeb village were taken prisoner along with their arms by YPG/YPJ, Asayish and Popular Defense Forces (HPC).

In the Hesekê clash that started with the regime’s attack, the regime continually suffers blow after blow. Following the 53 soldiers taken prisoner before, 283 more soldiers and their allied gangs stationed around Kevke mountain were surrounded and taken prisoner by the YPG/YPJ, Asayish and People’s Defense Forces.
