As the clashes between YPG (People's Protection Units) fighters and ISIS gangs continued until the early hours of the morning, protestors who have been keeping the vigil did not leave their positions, despite there being rain showers.

The clashes in Kobanê started at around 23:00 and continued until 04:00 in the morning. The people at the vigil did not leave their positions despite the showers and witnessed every minute of the clashes.

They supported the YPG fighters who repulsed the ISIS gangs in the clashes with the slogans "long live the resistance of YPG". The ISIS gangs opened fire on the vigil and fired mortars. The villagers keeping vigil at the border of Mersimêle were shot at with mortars last night.

Despite the heavy rain, the resistance vigil of the people in the villages of Siwêdê and Boydê to the west of Suruç district of Urfa and in the villages of Elizêr and Dewşen to the east of Suruç continued until the morning.
