#1 Lets see,
Option 1: the Turks dropped a bunch of nth-hand obtained chem shells on PKK positions, which isn't that unfeasible from a logistics point of view as a LOT of world's black market crap end up around Anatolia but the lack of actual offensive NBC warfare structure / training or chem agent inventory in Turk Army & AF makes this much less feasible

OR The option 2, Turk Arty hit "something" that were in these locations (remember the above mentioned black market remark? yea various other Kurdish sub-groups are generally the middlemen carrying the stuff overland.)

Can't really call it one way or another as Erdogan and his "genius" troubleshooters are also involved.
Expect chem attacks in Turkiye in the coming months before the local 2023 elections, is all I can be certain of.
