The Anadere village has seen intense military operations for days now. 19 people have been detained, 4 of them over the age of 60. 3 people have been released since, but there is no information on the remaining 16.

Villagers said they were threatened and insulted in the Yelkenli Outpost where they were held in custody and that they were told they will be made to "go the hell away".

Meanwhile, 3 soldiers were reported dead by friendly fire during a clash that broke out inside the village.
