And the Media Center of the People's Defense Forces published a statement to the public opinion about the attacks of the Turkish occupation:

"The Turkish occupation army bombs the guerrilla positions and war tunnels in the Medya Defence Zones hundreds of times a day and has not achieved a single result by doing so. The guerrillas’ battle positions have also been attacked with chemical weapons and banned bombs, but their goal has not been achieved. Now, the Turkish army has committed another despicable war crime and attacked our battle position in the resistance area of Seda in Zap with a tactical nuclear bomb, resulting in large explosions that killed our companion Şerzan Mawa. The attacks of the Turkish occupying army with tactical nuclear bombs continue".
