According to the press centre of the People's Defence Forces (HPG), two soldiers of the Turkish army were killed in Southern Kurdistan on Monday as a mobile guerrilla group struck a Turkish unit with heavy weapons in the resistance area Şehîd Adil in the Zap region. At Girê Amêdî in Metîna, the guerrillas destroyed a surveillance camera installed by Turkish troops as a booby trap. The bomb attached to the camera was detonated in a controlled manner by guerrillas.
