State-run TRT TV says 60 killed in a basement in Cizre

Turkish state-run TV channel TRT reported that nearly 60 people were killed in an operation in Şırnak's Cizre district

It has been 9 days since the last communication with the wounded people who have been waiting for hospitalization in the basement of a building for the past 16 days. Communication with wounded people in another basement where 9 people were burnt to death and one child was shot by state forces has been cut off for the past two days.

State-run TV channel TRT has reported a breaking news asserting that Turkish security forces conducted an operation onto a basement in the town of Cizre in the evening hours, as a result of which “some 60 terrorists were neutralized”.

In the meantime, local sources reported sounds of huge explosions from the area between 5-6 pm this evening, but no sounds of arms or clashes.
