27.02.2016
Militants of the so-called Islamic State (IS; formerly ISIS/ISIL) launched an attack on the Kurdish-controlled town of Tell Abyad on Syria's border with Turkey on Saturday.
Militia of the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) battled to repel the attack, and were helped by air strikes carried out by A-10 aircraft of the US-led coalition forces.
The assault took place shortly after a "cessation of hostilities" began in Syria under a US-Russian agreement. However the truce does not apply to IS and al-Nusra Front.
