Kurdish fighters of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in border villages of the Kurdistan region of Iraq.

and Kara in the Kani Masi district of Amedi, according to Rudaw correspondent Gharib Majid. Intermittent Turkish shelling is ongoing and casualties are not yet known.

Coalition Vehicular Losses in Yemen
Not much info on vehicular losses in Yemen war but here are two posts on Saudi / UAE combat losses in Yemen I found on Uskowi on Iran. I link below and quote some.
And...

And...
Yemeni Infantry Destroy Saudi Armor + Vehicle ID
Yemen war report on the battles of Jabiry, Qamar, and Hamdhah (Hammizah) part of advancement into Saudi territory of Jaizan (Jazan). Footage shows take over of Saudi Army positions, Saudi artillery shelling lost territory, caches of seized weapons and ammunition.
We see a number of destroyed vehicles:
- M1 Abrams tanks, at least 2;
- M113 APCs, several units;
- Oshkosh M-ATVs, many;
The Oshkosh M-ATV is supposed to be a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle. However on this evidence you can't say that it offered much protection in this particular ambush as they appear to be the most damaged and even totally destroyed.
Maybe, the Oshkosh Corporation should have stuck to making its fire trucks.
