According to an AFP report, Kurdish fighters have expelled Daesh militants from the Syrian city of Kobani, which lies on the border with Turkey.
"The (Kurdish) People's Protection Units have almost full control over Kobani after expelling [Daesh] fighters," the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights told AFP.
Just last week fighters from the People’s Protection Units (YPG) retook a strategic hilltop position known as Mishte-ur.
As a result of the violence, more than 200,000 Kobani residents have also fled across the border into Turkey.
