In the Serhat region in Northern Kurdistan, an agent of the Turkish intelligence service MIT has been killed by an autonomous revenge unit of the People's Defence Forces (HPG). The man, whose identity the HPG gave as Ozan Çiftçi on Friday, is said to have been involved in the deaths of fighters of the HPG and the YJA Star (Free Women’s Troops) in several cases as a "local collaborator". Most recently, he is said to have been significantly involved in the deaths of Evîndar Kevok and Eylem Sîpan, among others. Both guerrillas were from Van and died in mid-August in the course of a Turkish military operation at Tendürek. The HPG did not explain when and where Ozan Çiftçi was "punished by shooting".

The HPG statement also provided information on the current war in Southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq). Since April, the guerrillas there have been resisting an invasion of the Medya Defence Zones, in which chemical weapons, outlawed by the international community, are being used by Turkey. On Thursday, the HPG recorded five such attacks, targeting guerrilla positions in the Sîda and Saca areas in the Zap region. In addition, dozens of artillery attacks were recorded, as well as 33 air strikes, most of them by attack helicopters. Three attacks were carried out by fighter jets and hit Zergelê and Soragulê in the Qandil region.

Regarding the guerrilla actions against the occupying forces, the HPG said that a Turkish soldier was shot dead on Friday in Çemço in the Zap region in a sniper action. Another soldier was wounded in the area on Thursday evening as guerrillas fired at "enemy units" using heavy weapons. In Saca, the guerrillas prevented troops from being airdropped yesterday. The helicopter was fired upon in five waves of attacks and forced to retreat.

At Girê Cûdî in Metîna, units of the YJA Star in particular struck the occupation forces the day before. First, mobile groups targeted a military position, then an advance attempt by Turkish troops was thwarted by three successive actions of sabotage, before a final shelling with heavy weaponry followed. It could not be determined whether there were any deaths or injuries among the occupying forces.
