The offensive came on 19 October 1983 as the Iranians and guerillas of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan took of territory. This included a number of Kurdish villages and exerted a significant amount of pressure on Penjwin. Saddam Hussein responded with a counterattack, using the Iraqi Republican Guard and poison gas.
