The YBŞ-YJŞ Command issued a written statement about the air strike against Xanesor in Shengal carried out by the Turkish state.

The YBŞ-YJŞ Command said that the Turkish state attacked not only the YBŞ-YJŞ forces, but also the Yazidi people and Iraqi lands. "Our people - said the statement - has gone through dozens of massacres, but did not bow its head. ISIS mercenaries carried out the latest attacks. The women, youth and mothers of this land resisted. These attacks actually strengthen ISIS and seek revenge for the death of al-Baghdadi."

The statement continued: "The Turkish state is currently carrying out occupation policies in the Middle East. It is attacking the places where Yazidi and Kurdish people live. We reiterate once again, the Turkish state can never break the will of our people and our forces. We will protect our people against these attacks to the end. We wish a speed recovery to the 3 friends injured in this attack."
