In one case, a soldier was caught while expanding a military position in the Girê Amêdî resistance area, and a second was fatally wounded in an action in Şêlazê. In Girê Cûdî, the guerrillas targeted a Turkish army transport helicopter on Monday evening. The Sikorsky helicopter was hit and had to turn around.
