BEHDINAN – Images of the invading Turkish state’s attack on the guerrilla positions in the Girê FM Resistance Area of the Martyr Delîl West Zap region of the Medya Defense Zones with a tactical nuclear bomb at 10:12 on 13 July reached the ANF. The effects of the tactical nuclear bomb explosion are seen in the images recorded by the locals and guerrillas.
HPG Press Center stated in its statement on July 14, “The sound of the invading Turkish army’s bombardments with tactical nuclear bombs, which are forbidden to be used on the west and east of the Zap on July 11 and 13, could be heard from kilometers away and the effect of the explosion spread to a very wide area.”
People’s Defense Center Headquarters Commander Murat Karayılan drew attention to the prohibited weapons used by the Turkish army in his evaluations to our agency on 12 July and said:
“For almost two and a half years, this area has been bombarded hundreds of thousands of times in an unprecedented way, and all kinds of chemicals have been tested. Thermobaric bombs were used; Phosphorus bomb was dropped and the last tactical nuclear bomb, which is only in the inventory of NATO member countries and can only be used with NATO’s approval, was used against our forces in Zap, Avaşîn and Metina.
It was noteworthy that the attacks carried out by the invading Turkish army with tactical nuclear bombs increased immediately after the NATO meeting.”
