The Press Office of People’s Defense Forces (HPG) released a statement detailing the latest developments in the conflict between the guerrilla forces and the Turkish army.

As part of the Martyr Medya Mawa and Martyr Rizgar Gever Vengeance Campaign, guerrillas carried out a sabotage action against a Turkish military unit near the OSyan outpost in Siirt’s Pervari district at 6 am on May 4.
