In a written statement on Friday, the Peoples’ United Revolutionary Movement (HBDH) Berxwedan Qehreman Militia announced that "in retaliation for the large-scale military operations launched by the colonialist fascist Turkish state against the guerrillas in North Kurdistan, we set fire to the recycling facility and the container belonging to a fascist person in Bursa / Orhangazi on 19 June."

"While the fire caused great material damage, the vehicles and the usage area in the facility were completely burnt down," the statement said.

"As the fighters of the united struggle, we are determined to raise resistance in the metropolises of Turkey, believing that this war should not be restricted to the mountains and the cities of Kurdistan," said HBDH militia, adding: "The military operations that are being expanded in North Kurdistan will be fruitless. The guerrillas will increase their resistance. Our militia will not remain silent to attacks against the freedom guerrillas, and they will turn the metropolises of Turkey into a fireball. The peoples and revolutionaries, on the other hand, will embrace the invincible guerrilla struggle more than ever and fight until they uproot fascism from the lands of Kurdistan and Turkey."
