YJA Star (Free Women’s Troops) and HPG (People’s Defence Forces) continue the resistance against the Turkish invading forces in the guerrilla-held Medya Defense Zones in southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq).

According to the HPG Press Center statement on Friday, four members of the Turkish occupation forces were killed as a result of strikes by guerrilla snipers in Girê Cûdî and Girê Amêdîyê areas in the Zap region on 28 September. Two of the actions were carried out by YJA Star guerrillas.

According to the statement, the guerrillas also carried out two actions with heavy weapons against occupiers at Girê Cûdî on the same day.

Regarding the attacks by the Turkish army, HPG said that the underground war tunnels of the guerrillas at Girê Amêdîyê were bombed four times by drones loaded with explosives. The guerrillas responded to three of these attacks with corresponding interventions.

The Cûdî and Amêdîyê resistance massifs are located in the western section of the Zap Front, which has again been the focus of the war in the region since mid-July as part of a new occupation operation by the Turkish state. These are the areas from which the invading troops of Turkey withdrew in flight at the end of last year.

On the other hand, Turkish occupiers bombed the underground war tunnels in Girê Çarçel area in Metina four times with drones loaded with explosives on 27 September.

In the Qandil region, the area of Girê Hîwa was targeted by fighter jets on 27 September. Further attacks carried out by the Turkish army with tank and artillery fire targeted parts of Zap and Metîna.
