Turkey continues its attacks against the Kurdish guerrillas unabated. According to the media and communication centre of the People's Defence Forces (HPG), dozens of attacks were carried out on the Medya Defense Zones on Sunday. Some of the guerrillas responded to the Turkish shelling with return fire.

According to the HPG statement on Monday, the Girê Cûdî resistance area in the Zap region was one of the areas affected by the bombardments the previous day. The massif rises directly above the Zap River and is connected to the Girê FM guerrilla area. According to the HPG, artillery fired from Turkish border territory hit the area around 30 times throughout the day.

Turkey's attacks come despite a ceasefire announced by the Kurdistan Communities Union(KCK). The decision was taken after the devastating earthquake disaster in the Turkish-Syrian border area. The Kurdish guerrillas, which include the HPG and YJA Star (Free Women's Troops), are implementing the call for a cessation of all hostilities and are in a defensive position.

In addition to ground attacks, more air strikes targeted the guerrilla positions in southern Kurdistan in recent days. The Turkish army continues its belligerent aggression against Kurdish society also in northern Syria. On Sunday, a fighter of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) was killed in a Turkish drone attack in Kobanê.
