The YPG (People's Defense Units) has cut an important ISIS supply line to Kobanê, taking control of a road which runs from Rakka and Til Ebyad through Helinc.

The YPG Kobanê Command said in a statement announcing the capture of the road that:“The most important supply line used by ISIS in its attempt to capture Kobanê, which runs from Rakka and Til Ebyad and passes through Helinc has been under the control of our forces since 03:00 Tuesday morning. Until now three gang vehicles and 1 motorcycle have been destroyed. The gangs, who attacked to retake the road, were repulsed and suffered severe losses. Until now 15 ISIS fighters are able to be confirmed dead."

The YPG Command also underlined that with this operation they are extending the process of liberating Kobanê to all areas, adding; "As we increase our resistance within the city on one side, we will turn every point of black earth in the rural parts of Kobanê into a point of resistance on the other side.”
