Heavy clashes are ongoing in Amed's central Sur district where popular resistance for self-rule endures genocidal attacks of state forces for 99 uninterrupted days. Civilian Defense Units YPS and YPS-Jin are responding to the ceaseless aggression of Turkish forces with tank and artillery fire.

As military and special operation police forces continue targeting the neighborhoods under curfew, sounds of armed confrontation and blasts are coming from the areas under fire since early this morning.

The district is also witnessing an intense activity of helicopters and military deployment by Turkish troops.

In the meantime, the vigil for Sur continues in Dicle Fırat Cultural Center in its 17th day.
