Speaking to ARA News on the phone, Saeed Judi, a fighter in the YPG ranks, said that the Kurdish fighters took control of Khirbet Atto village (administratively linked to Shuyookh town) near Jarablus.
"Thus the city of Jarablus is about 3 km away, and now the whole city, which is one of the most strategic strongholds of the radical group, is under the crossfire of the Peshmerga and the YPG military units," he said.
Judi also reported that the YPG fighters were able to enter the town of Jalabiya, in the southeastern countryside of Kobane, where fierce festivities continue in the vicinity of the French plant of Cement, adding that more than 80% of Kobane's countryside became under the control of the defending forces of Kobane.
On the other hand, high ranking leaders of the YPG asked for extending the mission of the Peshmerga forces in Kobane, where a base for these forces will be built on the outskirts of the city to be a launching pad for military operations against the hardline group of the Islamic State, a Kurdish military source told ARA News.

Subsequent to the remarkable advancement made by the joint forces defending Kobane and the attacks hit IS headquarters in Manbij and Jarabalus, the IS group declared a state of alert in the remaining villages under its control in the countryside of Kobane, calling for more reinforcements there.
