The People's Defense Forces (HPG) said that the Turkish state, which has failed to achieve success against the guerrilla in Metina, is trying to create false victories, adding, "News targeting our forces and our command has nothing to do with the facts."

Th statement by HPG Press Centre said the following: "The colonialist genocidal fascist Turkish state, which has failed to achieve military success against the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla, is disseminating fake news based on special war methods. The news about our forces and our command level in the recent period has nothing to do with the facts. Our people should disregard the fake news that are clearly part of the special war methods.”
