In the province of Deir al-Zour, two men were killed and three injured near the village of Khusham, according to the Observator. Meanwhile, clashes continued between the IS and the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) in the city of Kobane.
The YPG fighters managed to recapture a radio station building in western Kobane.
The IS unleashed its wide-scale offensive against Kobane, bordering Turkey on September 15 in a bid to capture the city which would enable the IS to stretch its territory to areas close to Turkey.
The IS has captured more than 300 villages around the city and managed to storm it after forcing over 1,60,000 people to flee to Turkey.
