At least two Turkish soldiers were killed in actions carried out by guerrillas in Xakurke and Avaşîn. The Turkish army has, meanwhile, used chemical weapons and explosives again in the Werxelê tunnel.
As the press center of the People's Defense Forces (HPG) underlined in its daily report on the war in Kurdistan, guerrillas attacked the Turkish occupation forces in Xakurke and Avaşîn on Sunday. The action at Girê Şehîd Axîn in Xakurke was carried out by the female guerrillas of YJA Star with heavy weapons. The target was hit and according to HPG information, the number of killed or wounded soldiers could not be established. At Girê Sor in Avaşîn, two soldiers were killed when the guerrillas attacked a Turkish unit at close range. The invaders fled into the area a second time. The Turkish troops then collected their dead and withdrew a little further.
Chemical weapons introduced into guerrilla tunnels
The HPG press office also announced that "chemical warfare agents were introduced into the guerrilla underground positions in Werxelê in the Avaşîn region five times on Sunday between 12 p.m. and 6 p.m.
Another blast in the tunnel took place at one o'clock in the morning. The area continues to be overflown by reconnaissance drones.
Also on Sunday, the Karker and Sîda areas in the Zap region were bombed by fighter planes. Helicopter flights took place over Qaşûra in Metîna."
