Original
1- On the night of 3/4-11, one of our combat patrols, led by comrades Ismail Mullazada and Swara Fattah, went behind enemy lines and clashed with the jash near Jasana. It pursued them as far as the Sulaymaniyah-Dukan road after inflicting a number of casualties among them. On the night of 4/5-11, the same patrol went out and captured two jash: Abdullah Haji Ahmad, with a parachute rifle, and Hamamin Gharib. It recovered 200 sheep that the jash had seized from the inhabitants of the P.M. area and captured another (300) sheep belonging to the jash. 2- At 5/3 p.m. on 30/10, our artillery bombarded the Spikana camp, and the shells struck their targets from the first salvo. At 5:30 a.m. on 1/11, our artillery again bombarded the same target before the enemy left its positions. Military vehicles hurried from Kani Miran camp to transport the dead and wounded, and when the vehicles arrived, the bombardment resumed. On 3/11, our artillery bombarded the enemy headquarters near Kechaba, destroying a military ZIL vehicle and part of their position. At 8:00 a.m. on 5/11, our artillery bombarded a military convoy at Kotel that was moving toward Dukan. The convoy could not continue and fled to Kani Miran camp. We will inform you of enemy losses when details reach us. At 1:00 p.m., our artillery bombarded concentrations of jash at Kani, scattering them in every direction; we do not yet know their losses. On 4/5, our artillery bombarded the positions of Khidr Agha opposite Kechana, and the shells struck their targets. In most of these operations, the enemy returned fire, but it had no effect because of the strength of our positions. Certain victory to our just revolution under Barzani's leadership.
