Footage from the HPG armed wing of the separatist PKK group shows a Kurdish three-person raid on a Turkish military outpost, reportedly resulting in soldier deaths.

Kurds demonstrate their notorious infiltration abilities by sneaking undetected to within a few meters of a manned observation post, while the Turkish soldiers demonstrate poor basic soldiering skills, as they have no sentry on duty scanning for threats.

The Kurds initiate with a hand grenades and then add small arms fire to the mix. Multiple hand grenades are thrown into Turkish military positions, likely inflicting casualties. In true Kurdish fashion, the fight is over as quickly as it began. They quickly withdraw to avoid being destroyed by reinforcements or close air support.
