The Kurdish guerrillas have destroyed a military radar system belonging to the Turkish army. The artillery reconnaissance radar was set up at Girê FM in the western area of the Zap front, the press office of the People's Defense Forces (HPG) said in a summary of the war in the Medya Defense Areas.
The report referred to Tuesday and Wednesday and contained information on three other actions by the HPG and the women's guerrilla YJA Star against Turkish forces in the area around FM Hill. Medium and heavy weapons were used in all attacks. An advance attempt by the Turkish military was stopped by guerrilla artillery on the evening of 4 July.
The guerrillas were also active in Xakurke. There, army units came under fire on Girê Şehîd Şahan. The balance sheet does not show whether soldiers were killed or injured in the actions. The HPG said that heavy air and ground attacks on guerrilla areas were carried out. The Sîda area in Zap was attacked twice with unconventional bombs. In addition, the western front of the region saw heavy reconnaissance and combat drone activity.
Various areas in Zap, Metîna, Gare and Xakurke have also been bombed by Turkish warplanes at least 18 times in the same two days. Most of the 8 airstrikes targeted the western area of the Zap Front, while there were six more airstrikes in Metîna. In the same period, artillery and tank shells hit these regions at least 218 times. In Sîda, the Turkish army has repeatedly tried to neutralize the local defense positions and war tunnels with construction machines.
