KOBANI– The barbaric attacks by the ISIS terrorists attempting to occupy Kobani continued yesterday on the 89th day. Yet our forces inside the city are continuing their operations against the terrorists who are on the defensive.
On the southern front of Kobani, our forces yesterday conducted an operation against the terrorist-occupied areas. In this operation our units managed to retake the control of the southern road to Kobani (Tarmik village’s road), the second strategic road to Kobani.
Following this operation, the extent located amid the Aleppo and Tarmik roads was utterly liberated from the terrorists. All the southern routes used by the terrorists to deploy reinforcements towards Kobani were cut and controlled by our units as a result of the operation. Since mop up operations are still ongoing in this region, the final results for the battles are yet to be verified.
