SDF, YPG, and YPJ fighters repelled all attacks carried out by the occupying Turkish state and HTŞ and ISIS gangs on the village of Safa, affiliated with Çilaxa.
As ceasefire violations continue on the second day, SDF and YPJ fighters are responding effectively both on the ground and from the air. The freedom fighters are pushing back the gangs’ attempts to advance in the rural areas of Kobanê, inflicting heavy losses.
In particularly intense clashes concentrated in Kobanê’s countryside, SDF–YPJ forces destroyed dozens of armored vehicles and tanks belonging to the gangs. Fierce fighting took place in and around Çelebiyê, Xerab Haşkê, Zêrikê, and surrounding areas; the gangs’ infiltration and ground attack attempts failed each time.
SDF–YPJ fighters shared footage of air operations carried out against gang targets in the countryside of Kobanê. The footage shows the results of four separate airstrikes, in which the gangs themselves, their positions, and their vehicles were hit hard.
