YPG advancing towards Sinjar town
ANF - SINJAR 04.08.2014 14:00:23
YPG forces that have reached the mountains of Sinjar, where tens of thousands of people have taken refuge, are continuing their advance towards the district centre of Sinjar.
The YPG forces that crossed from the Til Kocher border after ISIS occupied Sinjar yesterday have rapidly fought their way to the mountains of Sinjar.
As they neared the district centre of Sinjar the YPG forces set up an ambush for ISIS gangs in the village of Chilmera.
In the resulting clash a vehicle belonging to ISIS was destroyed.
This village on the slopes of Sinjar mountain is 10 km from the town.
