The Press Center of the People's Defense Forces (HPG) said in a statement that women guerrillas targeted the Turkish army in South Kurdistan. The statement also reported on the attacks carried out by the Turkish army against the Medya Defense Areas.

According to the statement, guerrillas from the Free Women’s Units (YJA Star) deployed on the western front of the Zap region targeted a Turkish army howitzer on Wednesday and thus repelled an attack on Girê Amêdî. In addition, enemy positions in the resistance area were fired upon by the fighters with heavy weapons.

In nearby Girê Cûdî, an attempt by enemy troops to advance on the guerrilla tunnels was also stopped by the YJA Star on Wednesday.

In the Metîna region, the fighters destroyed a surveillance camera installed by the occupying forces in the Serê Metîna resistance area on the same day.

And on Monday, according to the HPG, soldiers in open areas were shot at with heavy weapons from the women's guerrillas.

Attacks by the Turkish army

Meanwhile, the Turkish army continued to use prohibited explosives against guerrilla tunnels. The HPG recorded eight operations against tunnel systems in Girê Cûdî, Girê Amêdî and Şêlazê this week.

Turkish fighter jets carried out 19 air strikes on areas in the Xakurke, Gare, Metîna and Zap regions between 28 and 30 January. The Girê Bahar resistance area was bombed nine times by attack helicopters on Tuesday.
