The fire, which broke out after the military operation launched on 1 June in the rural area of Kurşunlu (Prejman) in Dicle (province of Amed), is continuing for the 9th day.

Local sources reported that the slopes of Görese (Gorse) mountain were bombarded by military helicopters throughout Wednesday.

It was noted that the firefighters who came to try and extinguish the fire, which spread rapidly with the effect of the wind, were prevented by the soldiers.

On the other hand, it was alleged that the Dicle District Governorate decided to do nothing to extinguish the fire until it reached people’ settlements.
