Original
The farmers of the villages of Rasul Bakul and Akhura came to us and asked us to move away from their villages until they harvest their crops because the battalion commander of Bistan had sworn to them that they would not be attacked. Although we were sure that they do not have a shred of honor, but to reveal the truth of these dishonorable people, our heroic Peshmerga moved slightly away from these villages. On 8/25 at 5 in the morning, the enemy attacked with the help of artillery and aircraft on these aforementioned villages. As a result, they burned the village of Rasul Bakul and burned half of the village of Akhura. Our heroic Peshmerga heroically jumped on them and started fighting them and inflicted good losses on them. On the days of 26, 27, and 8/28, the enemy continued to shell the villages with Ilyushin and MiG planes and artillery, and until now, the shelling is continuing in the villages of Shiwepiran, Akhura, and Banamud.
