Intense clashes are taking place between Manbij Military Council fighters and ISIS gangs at the Al-Şerîa crossroad in the western front of the Manbij city since last night.

As the Operation Martyr Commander Faysal Abu Layla continues on its 25th day, a number of gang members have been killed during clashes since last night but the exact number of casualties couldn't be verified due to the ongoing heavy fighting.

As heavy clashes also continue on the western front of the Manbij city, the Al-Şerîa crossroad has been liberated from gangs Saturday morning.

International coalition aircraft conducted two bombardments on ISIS locations yesterday. One of these aerial aggressions has reportedly hit an ammunition depot of the gangs. Coalition aircraft continued to hit several other ISIS locations throughout yesterday.

Amid heavy clashes with the gangs, the strategically important wheat silos were liberated by the Council's combatants who now have 2 km left to the city center from the southern front. The Şerîa school in the area was also liberated from the ISIS gangs.

On the other hand, violent clashes between Manbij Military Council fighters and ISIS gangs also continue on the eastern and western fronts of the city.
