Following the announcement of operation to isolate the ISIS-controlled Syrian city of Raqqa, the People’s Protection Units (YPG/the Syrian Democratic Forces) seized a number of villages in the northern countryside of this ISIS-controlled city.
YPG units took control of the villages of Jurah, Al-Wahib and Al Adriyah from ISIS militants. The YPG also entered the village of Laqtah (the fighting is ongoing there).
At least 3 US-led coalition air strikes in support of the YPG-led advance were reported by local sources.
