YPG Press Office Statement:

ROJAVA, Syria (February 27, 2016) ­ After an effective military campaign in the town of Shadadi enabled the Syrian Democratic Forces (S.D.F.) to inflict significant blows to the Daesh (ISIS), elements of that terrorist group last night, February 26, launched a series of coordinated attacks on the city of Tal Abyad (Gire Spi).

The massive assault ­ targeting south and east of Tal Abyad from two axis ­was simultaneously carried out at 11 pm from Turkey and the occupied city of Raqqa.

From Turkey side, terrorist groups stormed the city center of Tal Abyad and the villages Nastal, Khiwera, Qanatra located at zero point of the borderlines to the east of Tal Abyad. Leading a charge from Raqqa, the terrorists at the same time targeted the chain of Gantari-Shergirat villages to the east of town Ain Issa, and southern Siluk.

The People¹s/Women¹s Defense Units (YPG/YPJ) immediately responded to the attacks, and confronted the assailants in 15 different locations. Up to the time, those battles continue with all intensity. Detailed information on this fight and the results will soon be provided, but we assure our people and the public opinion these attacks will be defeated, and the terrorists will lose once again.
