MOSCOW (Sputnik) – According to a separate statement by the watchdog, ISIL militants killed at least 174 civilians, including dozens of women and children, in an attack on Kobani that had started early on Thursday and a nearby village.
“SOHR had been informed that the clashes inside the city of Ayn al- Arab (Kobani) have stopped after YPG fighters could seize the boys high school in the city when they targeted it by a bombing this morning,” the watchdog said in a statement published on its website.
Recently, ISIL forces have been losing control of the Turkish-Syrian border. Last week, the Kurdish forces liberated the ethnically Kurdish border city of Tel Abyad in northeastern Syria from the Islamic State.
