ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – On Friday, it was reported that the Resistance Units (also known as YBŞ) was targeted in a Turkish drone attack in Kalar.

The spokesperson of Garmian Police told Kurdistan 24 that as a result of the drone attack, one fighter has lost his life.

This comes at a time that on Thursday, on the road between Sinjar and Giruzer, a Turkish drone struck a vehicle of the Sinjar Resistance Units (also known as YBŞ).

Two YBŞ fighters in the vehicle were killed and another wounded, according to preliminary reports.

Also on Feb. 20, two individuals were killed, and one person was injured in an airstrike carried out by a Turkish warplane on a village located in the Dinarta subdistrict of Duhok's Akre district.

Turkey has launched several large-scale ground operations against the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in the Kurdistan Region’s mountainous areas since 2021.

Tens of thousands have been killed on both sides in armed conflict since the mid-1980s, including civilians.

The PKK is listed as a terrorist group by the United States, Turkey, and the EU, among other countries. So far, efforts by sympathizers of the group to delist it have failed.
