Guerrillas Carry Out Action in Zap

An action was carried out by Kurish guerrillas against Turkish soldiers who wanted to advance towards the war tunnels in the Martyr Delîl Girê Cûdî Resistance Area in the Western Zap region.

HPG sources said that three Turkish soldiers were killed and the weapon of one soldier was confiscated during the action.

The HPG reported that one MPT-55 type personal weapon was seized and added that many soldiers were injured.

The struggle in Zap has been a focal point of the guerrilla war the PKK is waging against the aggression by the Turkish state.

In 2022 Turkey launched Operation Claw, which was an incursion into the Zap region in Iraq, with the goal of dislodging the Resistance.
