The Mehmet Karasungur Cemetery of Martyrs had been shelled by Turkish warplanes last months as well. The cemetery which is a home to martyrs from four parts of Kurdistan is often visited by the families of fallen guerrillas.

As the bombardments of the Turkish military continue giving a huge harm to the nature and living beings, the doves feeding in the cemetery were also killed during today's shelling on the cemetery.

People rushed to the cemetery to see a terrifying scene following the bombardment.

Civilian Mam Şêx from Qandil stated that: “Nowhere else in the world are cemeteries being bombed. This is just inhumane. This is the biggest betrayal. I condemn the fascist Turkish state that did not have its share of humanity, and is afraid of our dead.”

A guerrilla by the name of Çekdar described the Turkish state's bombardment of cemetery of martyrs as an indication of its weakness, stressing that: "The cemeteries of martyrs is our red line. They will pay for this."
