(NSFW) GerilaTV Releases Large PKK Operation in Turkey- One Dozen Reported KIA
This video, edited and provided by GerilaTV, documents a massive offensive operation allegedly undertaken by PKK (Kurdish Workers Party) forces in Xerkuk. The compilation features Go-Pro and thermal scope camera footage, identifies weapons and shows Turkish troops being killed. Viewer discretion is advised.
The Kurdish Workers Party, abbreviated PKK, has been waging an insurgency against Turkish forces since 1986. Current instability in the region has allowed the PKK faction to continue and expand their operations, as demonstrated here. At 03:41 we see as many as seven Turkish soldiers in a group; although the video implies that all seven were killed, the two in the back appear to be unharmed. The PKK fighters are also shown firing and throwing grenades into dug-in positions. Although the thermal scope’s recording of the fighting appears to show inaccurate fire in many cases, in some cases Turkish troops are shown falling or otherwise confirmed. Therefore, while it is possible for PKK to have achieved the kills they claim, it is also possible that the numbers have been exaggerated.
