The TİKKO (Workers and Peasants Liberation Army of Turkey), armed forces of the TKP-ML (Communist Party of Turkey/Marxist–Leninist), bombed an enemy camp of the Turkish Republic fascist forces in the Mennax region, Til Temir on the morning of May 17. According to reports from the TKP-ML, the attack hit a radar inside the camp.

The armed action coincided with the 49th death anniversary of their founder Ibrahim Kaypakkaya. According to the group, the best way to commemorate the martyrdom of their leader is through active and determined struggle in all fronts against the fascist Turkish Republic.

The TK-ML celebrated their 50th founding anniversary last April 21. On the occasion of their anniversary, the group affirmed their unity to advance their armed struggle.
