The battle is reportedly underway.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: 18px; text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif;\">\n\tAccording to the UK-based monitoring group, the YPG forces have managed to wrest control over the rural areas of al-Sekkeh and al-Awiziye during the past two days. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: 18px; text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif;\">\n\tThe YPG said in its statement that the so-called US-led military coalition and Russian forces in Syria had provided \u201cair and logistical support, advice and coordination on the ground\u201d and that it hoped this support would increase.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: 18px; text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif;\">\n\tThe US-led coalition has been conducting airstrikes against what are said to be Daesh targets inside Syria since September 2014 without any authorization from the Damascus government or a UN mandate.\u00a0The military alliance has repeatedly been accused of targeting and killing civilians. It has also been largely incapable of fulfilling its declared aim of destroying\u00a0Daesh.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: 18px; text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif;\">\n\tThe observatory said in its report that at least three civilians were killed and a number of others sustained injuries on Saturday in airstrikes carried out by the unwelcome\u00a0coalition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: 18px; text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif;\">\n\tThe YPG is the main part of a larger coalition of fighters \u2014 the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) \u2014 which has been engaged in operations aimed at liberating Raqqah, which served until recently\u00a0as the main bastion of Daesh in the Arab country.
