As of the time of this statement, these factions continue their attacks on the southern and western axes of Kobani, in clear violation of the ceasefire agreement and a dangerous escalation that endangers civilian lives. During these attacks, four of our fighters were wounded, in addition to the suicide attack of a child and injuries to three others from the same family. We call upon the guarantors of the ceasefire agreement to assume their full responsibilities in putting an end to these violations, compelling the Damascus factions to fully comply with the agreement, and ensuring the protection of civilians without any delay or leniency.
