Explosions on the Syrian border town of Kobani
- il y a 10 ans
Loud explosions were heard on Monday from the strategic Syrian border town of Kobani, with columns of smoke visible from the Turkish side a few kilometers away as Islamist fighters were seen on a hilltop in Siftek, Syria, about 10 kilometers from Kobani.
In Syria, the main focus in recent days has been on the mainly Kurdish town of Kobani near the Turkish border, where Kurdish defenders have been trying to halt an advance by fighters who have driven 200,000 refugees across the border.
A U.S.-led military coalition has been bombing Islamic State fighters who hold swathes of territory in both Iraq and Syria, countries involved in complex multi-sided civil wars in which nearly every country in the Middle East has a stake.
