People’s Defense Units (YPG) Press Office released a statement providing information about recent actions carried out by their units against invaders in the occupied Afrin city.

The statement by YPG Press Office reads as follows;

“On June 3, our forces targeted a patrol of Turkish invasion army with an explosive device inside Kafr Janna village of Afrin’s Shara district. The action resulted in the death of two soldiers, one of whom is a specialist sergeant. Their names are; Muhammed Kara and Orhan Demir.

After the action, the invaders launched a large-scale operation in the area. The operation forces retreated shortly after the operation had begun without achieving any goals.

On July 6, the invaders launched an operation around the village of Shadiya of Afrin’s Rajo district upon receiving information from a villager. Three Turkish-backed terrorists were killed in the conflict that started at 05:00 in the morning and lasted until 10 am, while two others were heavily injured. Two of our comrades fell as martyrs in this conflict, and one other was captured by the invading forces in a state of being heavily injured.

We feel the need to share with the public that we possess the ID information of the man which has informed the invaders of the group, resulting in the attack and martyrdom of our comrades. We promise our people that those collaborating with the invading forces in Afrin will be held to account and punished for their actions.

With the actions carried out between July 3-6, the number of deaths of Turkish invasion army and its mercenaries has risen to 2504.”
