Nearly 300 so-called Islamic State (IS) terrorists were killed in the clashes between People's Protection Units (YPG) fighters and IS militants in Northern Syrian borders with Turkey, YPG Spokesperson revealed.
Redour Khalil, a Spokesperson for YPG, released a report on the death toll of clashes which recently took place between YPG fighters and IS extremists in Tel Abyad in Syria.
291 IS militants were killed in the clashes on February 27 in Tel Abyad and six insurgents were taken captives, the report said.
43 YPG fighters were also killed in those clashes and an official from Tel Abyad security forces was shot by the Turkish police.
There are also several Syrian Kurdish fighters reportedly wounded during the conflict.
Tel Abyad, located on the border between Syria and Turkey, is considered a strategic town which IS frequently attempts to bring under its control; however, they have, so far, failed to make any gains in the area.
