Turkish state forces are setting fire to many buildings to retrieve their casualties from the rubble of a building destroyed 5 days ago.

According to reports by local sources, the corpses of Turkish special operations members remain under the rubble of a 3-storey building in İsmetpaşa neighborhood which was destroyed 5 days ago.

Turkish 'security forces' have today set fire to many buildings in Cumhuriyet and İsmetpaşa neighborhoods in an effort to retrieve the corpses by taking advantage of the smoke rising around.

Heavy clashes erupted in the meantime between Civil Defense Units YPS / YPS-JIN and members of Turkish forces attempting to get the bodies from the scene.

On the other hand, the neighborhoods of İsmetpaşa, Cumhuriyet, Dicle and Bahçelievler are still being bombed by state forces with tank, artillery and howitzer fire.

While the city is covered with smoke arising from the buildings set ablaze by state forces, heavy clashes are taking place in İsmetpaşa and Cumhuriyet neighborhoods.
