The heroic and historic resistance by YPG/YPJ (People's/Women's Defence Units) and the local people of Kobanê against ISIS gangs is continuing.

Heavy fighting has been taking place on three sides of the town since last night.

ANHA news agency correspondents on the ground reported that YPG forces have repulsed two attacks launched by the gangs last night aiming to advance from the eastern front. According to the reports, dozens of gang members have been killed in clashes that have mainly intensified in and around the village of Helince.

Fighting is getting heavier at all three fronts, and around the stragetically important Miştenur hill which is mainly being targeted by intensified attacks launched with heavy weaponry for the last three days.
