The resistance of the HPG (People's Defence Forces) and YJA Star (Free Women's Troops) against Turkish invasion in the guerrilla-held Medya Defense Zones in southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq) continues unabated.

According to the HPG Press Office, which publishes daily reports on the war in Kurdistan, three soldiers of the Turkish army were killed and four emplacements of theirs were damaged in the latest actions by the guerrillas.

Guerrillas carried out eight actions on Turkish positions in the Girê Cûdî and Sîda resistance areas from six o'clock on Saturday morning until 7:40 am today.  Six of these actions were carried out by YJA Star guerrillas with heavy weapons and rifles.

While helicopters were observed flying over Girê Cûdî on Saturday evening, YJA Star guerrillas fired on a Sikorsky helicopter dropping off soldiers in the area. The helicopter was damaged and had to leave the area.

In Sîda, guerrillas hit shovel excavators with heavy weapons on Sunday morning. The Turkish army has been trying to demolish guerrilla positions with heavy construction equipment in the area for some time.

HPG also reported that the Girê Cûdî and Girê Bahar areas in the Zap region were bombed four times by Turkish army fighter jets on Saturday. The resistance area of Girê Ortê in Metîna was attacked four times by combat helicopters on the same day. In addition, artillery attacks were carried out in the region of Zap.
