Turkish 'security forces' continue attacking civilians in Kurdish towns.

Following the imposition of a curfew, hundreds of special operation members, police and soldiers launched an onslaught against Cumhuriyet and Güngör neighborhoods in Yüksekova district of Hakkari as of 23:00 last night.

Concurrently with the operation, telephone and internet services were also suspended across the district.

The operation mainly intensified in Cumhuriyet neighborhood where state forces opened random fire after failing to enter the area due to the barricades built up by the local people.

As the operation further targeted the neighborhoods of Orman, Güngör, Eski Kışla Yeşildere and Mezarlık, people poured out into the streets to protest the curfew and following onslaught.

Police and military forces managed to reach the Mala Gel (People's House) in Cumhuriyet neighborhood at around 03:00 midnight but couldn't move further due to the trenches dug by the residents.

Police forces therewith demolished the garden walls of some houses with armored vehicles in an attempt to clear the way for their operation, as they in addition fired intensely on the houses of the residents.

A bomb fired by police fell near three youths, who all lost their feet as a result of the explosion. 17-year-old Sait İmat Arıcı lost his life at the scene, while two others ended up in heavy injuries and were denied access to hospital for treatment for hours.

Naim Noyan (29), one of those wounded in the attack, also lost his life at hospital today.

The operation by 'security forces' left three other civilians wounded in Dize and Eski Kışla neighborhoods.

Attacks by state forces continued till early morning hours, after which they retreated from neighborhoods to the district centre.
