Last night, Kurdish guerrillas repelled an attempted advance by Turkish occupation forces from defensive positions in the Werxelê resistance area in Avaşîn with a sabotage operation.

Accordingly, the Turkish army responded with three explosive attacks, after which soldiers attempted to install surveillance cameras in the area. "Our forces then carried out another sabotage and struck the Turkish forces with light arms at close range and the occupiers' explosive devices and surveillance cameras were destroyed. As a result of these effective actions, the advance of the invading forces has been halted," it said. This Sunday, HPG recorded more attacks with explosives in Werxelê at 6:15 a.m. local time.
