库尔德武装继续在叙利亚城镇科巴尼抵抗进攻的伊斯兰国激进分子。

星期二在土耳其境内可以看到科巴尼上空的滚滚黑烟。科巴尼保卫战已经进行了几个星期。库尔德武装抵制激进分子夺取城镇的努力得到了国际社会的支持。

总部设在英国的人权组织叙利亚人权瞭望台说,美国为首的联军星期二同时派战机轰炸了科巴尼地区的伊斯兰国目标。

美国星期一向保卫科巴尼的库尔德武装空投了伊拉克境内库尔德当局提供的武器弹药和医疗用品。 土耳其星期一也说,他们帮助伊拉克库尔德人越境进入叙利亚,加入保卫科巴尼的战斗。

Kurdish fighters and Islamic State militants continue to battle in the northern Syrian town of Kobani.

Plumes of smoke could be seen Tuesday from across the border in Turkey, as the two sides clashed again in the weeks-long fight that has drawn international support to help the Kurds hold off militant attempts to take the town.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said planes from the U.S.-led coalition also carried out fresh airstrikes in the area Tuesday targeting the Islamic State group.

On Monday, the U.S. dropped shipments of weapons, ammunition and medical supplies provided by Kurdish authorities in Iraq to the Kurds in Kobani.

Turkey also said it is helping Iraqi Kurds cross into Syria to help in the fighting there.
