Thick smoke, debris and fire could be seen rising over the Syrian town of Kobane as fighting intensified between Syrian Kurds and ISIS
Kurdish fighters thwarted a bid by Islamic State group jihadists to advance into the centre of the battleground Syrian town of Kobane early this morning, according to a monitoring group.
The attack came after the IS militants overran Kurdish headquarters in the border town yesterday.

Heavy fighting between the Burma Army and an ethnic Karen rebel group broke out in Kawkareik and Hlaingbwe townships in Karen State on Friday, forcing dozens of villagers to flee their homes.
The fighting between government soldiers and the Democratic Karen Benevolent Army (DKBA) also forced the closure of a road linking Burma’s commercial capital Rangoon to the border town of Myawaddy.
A detachment of the Popular National Army’s forces succeeded Saturday to eliminate five terrorists, in the province of Bouira and recover three guns and ammunitions, said a communiqué of the National Defence Ministry (MDN).
Smoke rises above a residential area after recent shelling near Donetsk airport during fighting between pro-Russian separatists and Ukrainian government forces.
Pro-Russian separatists claim that shelling has killed three people in the rebel-held city of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine.
The rebel-controlled Donetsk city hall said in a statement on October 11 that “as a result of military actions in Donetsk on October 10 three civilians died and four more were injured and hospitalized.”
As ISIS gangs are continuing to attack the Kobanê town of West Kurdistan with all their forces, and the YPG forces are bravely resisting attacks for weeks now, fighting has intensified on the eastern and southern fronts in the evening, on the 25th day of the historic resistance.
According to the reports provided by ANHA (Hawar News Agency) correspondents on the ground, fierce fighting is continuing in many areas as YPG forces are repulsing the concentrated attacks gangs have been launching with reinforcements and heavy weapons for the last three days.
