Original
Villages and property of citizens in our region were subjected to three airstrikes in the morning, afternoon, and evening of 8/1, and the aircraft used incendiary ammunition and missiles. There were no casualties other than some fires that broke out in our citizens' property. The artillery also fired hundreds of shells from a fascist Ba'athist camp at various parts of our regions on the same day, and no casualties occurred. Our heavy artillery emerged to respond to the hateful aggressors and struck for the third time at two o'clock in the afternoon on 1/8, F3 to L5 in Zakho, and our shells landed on the targets of the aggressive camp with precision. The enemy imposed a state of siege and imposed secrecy and concealment on its situation in the camp and the losses it sustained. However, the eyes of the observers did not miss the bodies of the dead and wounded that were transported in several batches from Zakho to Mosul by helicopters and cars. We will provide the clear details when the final information is available.
