Kurdish guerrillas of the HPG armed wing of the PKK have released a nighttime sniper operation video in which they claim to have inflicted multiple casualties on Turkish troops in northern Iraq on Dec. 9, 2021.
The Kurdish units claimed to have killed two Turkish soldiers. On the same day, Turkey's Ministry of defense reported the deaths of three soldiers. It's not clear if those soldiers' deaths were from this incident in the video or what the actual result was from this operation.
The HPG/PKK are Kurdish separatists fighting for sovereignty or autonomy in the regions of Turkey they inhabit. The fight has spilled ousted of Turkey's borders and is ongoing across much of northern Iraq with Turkish airstrikes targeting Kurds and Kurdish ground assaults targeting Turkish outposts.
