Video footage posted on social media by the Kurdish Ragihandina YPG media centre on Saturday and Sunday,
(Oct. 11-12-13) purportedly showed Kurdish fighters of the People's Defense
Units (YPG) engaged in fierce street battles with advancing
Islamic State forces in the strategic northern Syrian border
town of Kobani, close to Turkey.
Loud explosions were heard on Monday (October 13) from the
strategic Syrian border town of Kobani, with columns of smoke visible from the Turkish side a few kilometres (miles) away as
Islamist fighters were seen on a hilltop in Siftek, Syria, about
10 kilometres from Kobani.
