The occupying Turkish state launched a comprehensive military operation from air and land in Şehîd Ferhad and Şehîd Serxwebûn areas of Şehîd Remzî region in Lice district of Amed (Diyarbakır) on Sunday.

According to the information obtained from local sources, violent explosions and gunshots were heard between the villages of Kurmik (Yönlüce) and Dercimt (Yeşilburç)  during the ongoing operation.

In Lice, military operations against the guerrilla organisations HPG and YJA Star are carried out frequently. In March, the Turkish military begins its traditional "spring operations". In previous years, the guerrillas' transition from winter to spring was more of a disadvantage. For some time now, however, the Turkish army has not achieved any significant results with its spring operations, as the guerrillas begin their phase of action in advance.
