The Press Centre of the People's Defense Forces (HPG) has published the names of three guerrillas who died on 15 June in a clash with the Turkish army in Tendürek area in Çaldıran district of Van.

Regarding the martyrs, the HPG said: "Our companions Firat, Simko and Şervan have joined the liberation struggle of Kurdistan at different times to defend the values of the Kurdish people against the colonialist forces. They fought heroically for this goal and fulfilled their tasks and responsibilities in the best possible way until their death in battle. Before they fell, they dealt heavy blows to the enemy. We express our condolences to their precious families and the patriotic people of Kurdistan and give our word to realize the ideals of the martyrs of a free future.”
