People's Defense Forces (HPG) statement on the current war in South Kurdistan:

Turkish occupation army is trying to gain a foothold in Metîna with the support of KDP collaborators: Airborne troops were dropped on Girê Şehîd Ezda (Mountaintop) At the same time, shovel excavators were moved from the KDP-controlled town of Qedîşê to Golka.

HPG: "There are currently occupation troops on the hills of Şehîd Hesen, Şehîd Sorxwîn, Şehîd Ezda and Şehîd Dilbirîn, which belong to Golka. The occupation operation in Metîna, which was launched on April 16, has thus been expanded and entered a new stage."

Regarding the situation in the Heftanîn region, HPG announced that Iraqi troops were stationed in Girê Pîrbila, Neqeba Şabanîkê & Şeranîş.

The move of Iraqi troops close to Guerrilla held territories comes after Turkey and Iraq signed Security cooperation agreement last week. Turkey is using economic pressure in an attempt to pull Iraq into open confrontation with the PKK Guerrillas.
