Two soldiers have been killed in an operation by HPG on a covert military unit of the Turkish army in the countryside of Amed.

According to the Press Office of the People's Defense Forces (HPG), two soldiers of the Turkish army died in a guerrilla operation in Amed (Diyarbakir) countryside.

The guerrilla action took place on 9 April in the vicinity of the village of Selê in Hani district and was directed against a covert unit that had launched a military operation in the area two days earlier. The unit was pursued by the HPG for two days.

The HPG stated: "Two soldiers were killed in the enemy unit, which was effectively hit from close range. The Turkish occupying army then removed the dead soldiers from the area in civilian vehicles and withdrew without success."
