Clashes broke out between People's Defense Units (YPG) and ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Levant) near the Susik village of Tal Abyad (Girê Spî) province bordering Turkey last night.

Five ISIS members were killed in clashes with YPG fighters who also burnt a vehicle of the groups down and damaged one other.

YPG fighters had liberated the Susik village on 15 September when 81 gang members were killed and some 40 others were wounded and rushed to Turkish hospitals.

The Turkish army had also dispatched weapons to the village in support of the al-Qaeda affiliated armed groups.
