The Turkish army used banned ordnance 27 times against guerrilla positions in Southern Kurdistan on Tuesday, according to the HPG. The guerrillas were able to recover explosives left behind by the Turkish invading forces.
The Press Centre of the People's Defence Forces (HPG) reported in today's statement on the war in Kurdistan 27 attacks by the Turkish army with internationally outlawed warfare agents: "The Kurdish freedom guerrillas continue to sacrificially defend the soil of Kurdistan against the invasion of the Turkish colonial state. The Turkish army is unable to crush the epic resistance of the guerrillas and is committing war crimes by massively attacking the resistance areas with banned bombs and chemical weapons. In the case of the guerrillas fighting with superhuman will and protecting our people and land despite difficult conditions, an occupier has been punished and explosives such as cortex, TNT and C3 have been seized. The Turkish occupation forces have attacked the resistance areas 27 times with banned bombs and chemical weapons, 17 times with fighter jets and dozens of times with howitzers, tanks, mortars and heavy weapons." According to the statement, the Iranian army again carried out artillery attacks on Xakurke on Tuesday.
Regarding the details of the guerrilla actions and the Turkish and Iranian attacks on 11 October, the HPG provided the following information:
