Islamic State group militants launched a fresh assault on the Syrian city of Kobane late Monday, a day after the US military began air-dropping weapons to the Kurdish fighters defending the besieged town near the Turkish border.
The jihadists launched an assault “on all fronts of the city”, said Rami Abdel Rahman, the director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group, in comments to AFP.
Heavy fighting was reported in the evening as the jihadists sent in reinforcements and the shelling of Kobane’s town centre resumed.
