According to information obtained from local sources, the Turkish army has launched yet another operation in the countryside of Şırnak province.

Soldiers from the Çalışkan (Giteyê) Battalion in Şırnak, and village guards (local men armed by the State to fight against the Kurds) are participating in the operation.

The operation affects the areas of Girê Hirmo, Hesena and Girê Çolya and will reportedly be expanded to a larger area.
