Our forces prevented the enemy from entering the area by supervising the enemy funerals for a while.
In addition, the invading Turkish army has been bombing Geliyê Pisaxa and Şeşdarê areas with howitzer, assault helicopters and warplanes since last night.

On June 22, at 12:00, our forces carried out a sabotage action against a vehicle belonging to the occupants on the road between the Xapuşkê and Silort outposts in Hakkari’s Şemzînan (Şemdinli) district. In this action in which the vehicle was completely destroyed, the number of dead and wounded soldiers could not be determined.
On June 23, at 06.00, our YJA Star forces carried out an assassination action against the invaders in the Girê Şikêr area of Şemzînan district. 1 soldier was punished in this action. Following the action, the invading Turkish army bombed the area with howitzers, mortars and tanks.
Martyr Rızgar Gever and Martyr Media Mawa Revenge Move
On June 15, at 21.00, our YJA Star forces carried out an action against the convoy of the armored vehicles of the invaders moving from the Korsê Kiça area in the Cudi Mountain region to Şırnak. In this action where a hedgehog-type vehicle in the convoy was hit by sabotage tactics, the vehicle was completely destroyed, while 13 enemies were also punished. Following the action, the invading forces removed armored vehicles and dead and wounded soldiers from the area.
People who carried out military road works between Sefine and Dergulê areas in the Cudi Mountain region have been warned by our forces not to cooperate with the enemy. Our forces carried out punitive action on June 16 against these contra personalities who did not take into account the warnings. As a result of this action, 4 counters were punished. The invading Turkish state is trying to distort the fact that these individuals cooperate with the enemy against the people, nature and guerrilla of the Kurdistan peoples by reflecting these people as civilians in their own press.
Again on June 16, Navsera Cudi destroyed 4 vehicles, 3 scoops and 1 truck used in military road construction works were set on fire. The people working here were once again warned by our forces.
On the 15th of June in the Tendürek area of the Çaldıran district of Van, clashes took place between our forces and the invading Turkish army. Many enemy soldiers were punished and injured in these conflicts. Three of our friends who fought heroically against the invaders reached martyrdom.
