There exist no further clear details regarding the fighting yet as a large part of ISIS gangs have started to flee the town centre, while the remaining groups are clashing with the forces joining the liberation offensive.
Forces affiliated to Êzidxan Joint Command, which have the control in the eastern part, have advanced through that direction and joined the encirclement of Shengal.
