Construction equipment have started to dig a trench in an area close to the border crossing between Akçakale district of Urfa and Girêspi (Tal Abyad) city of Rojava, West Kurdistan, under the siege of ISIS gangs.

The digging of the trench, which is 2 metres in width and 3 in depth, has begun after wire fences were placed around the area.

Armored vehicles have taken intense security measures in the area as the construction equipment used by military staff continue the excavation on the borderline.
