Kurdpa: Latest border unrests in Wurme (Orumieh) Province have led to the deaths and arrests of a dozen IRGC members.

Kurdpa has learned that the corpses of three IRGC members were transferred to Shino city from Kelashin mountain range.

One source told Kurdpa that these IRGC members might have been killed in clashes with the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (PDKI) Peshmargas, which could not be confirmed by Kurdpa.

However, the source confirmed to Kurdpa that the bodies were transferred to the city’s main IRGC garrison.

IRGC members disguise under the PKK guerrilla uniforms, stated one of the PDKI commanders.

Reports from Margawar areas of Wurme indicate that at least ten local IRGC members have also been arrested by the Security Police within “Sepah Shohada” division of IRGC.

A Kurdpa reporter, from Wurme, has learned that the officer in charge of the ammunition depot in “Shahid Kharazi” IRGC’s Special Operations Squadron was arrested. He was accused of appropriating the ammunition with the help of the locals.

Locals have told Kurdpa that following the deployment of PDKI’s Peshmerga forces in the border areas of Wurme Province, all the local reserve paramilitary forces have been called to duty and deployed in the border areas.
