Coalition Spokesman: We are in contact with Turkey and SDF The International Coalition spokesman said contacts are aimed at reducing tension. 

International Coalition Against ISIS Spokesman, Sean Ryan, said in a statement posted on Twitter: "We are in contact with Turkey and Syria Democratic forces in an effort to reduce tension".

On Wednesday, the US State Department had announced that they were in contact with the YPG and the Turkish state in an effort to ease tension.

The US also stated that they were worried after receiving news of the attacks carried out by the Turkish state.

Turkish state attacks against Kobanê and Girê Spî were launched after a summit in Istanbul among Russia, Turkey, France and Germany.

The Syrian Democratic Forces had announced to have temporarily halted their operation in Deir ez-Zor, stating that the Turkish state's attacks on Kobanê and Girê Spî were a clear show of support for DAESH.
