A written statement issued by the KBDH (Resisting Women Union) Aynur Yaşlı  Militia said: "On 14 February 2021, around 6.30 am, two luxury yachts anchored off Bebek coast, in Istanbul were destroyed by our militia using a special technique.”

The statement added: "The AKP-MHP fascist government is approaching the end of the road. It has been defeated in Gare and in the cities, by the actions of our militias. No one standing next to the AKP-MHP fascist government should dream of a different end. We will break this blood-sucking fascist siege that crushes workers, women, youth, Kurds and Alevis. Everywhere our militia forces will target the fascist power, its partners and supporters.”

The statement continued: “We will continue our 'You cannot darken our sun' actions to achieve freedom for Kurdish people's leader Abdullah Öcalan. Our last action was carried out in memory of Aynur Elder, who called for freedom, by setting herself on fire in 2006 in Antalya. This call for freedom will be answered by the united resistance of women; We will break isolation; we will destroy fascism!"
