Smoke rises following explosions in the Syrian town of Kobani, also known as Ain al-Arab. Kurdish defenders of the town awaited reinforcements after weathering another onslaught by ISIL terrorists.

Kurdish defenders of the strategic Syrian border town of Kobani awaited reinforcements Wednesday after weathering another onslaught by ISIL terrorists.

Fighting appeared to have diminished after a fierce attack begun by ISIL terrorists almost 48 hours earlier, including suicide bombers, witnesses and monitors said.

ISIL terrorists in east Kobani were exchanging fire with Kurdish militia in the west and there were reports of an explosion, probably a car bomb, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said.

A total of 30 terrorists and 11 Kurdish fighters were killed in 24 hours, the opposing Britain-based Syrian Observatory said late Tuesday, adding that ISIL was bringing in reinforcements "as a result of the daily losses in Kobani".

US-led coalition airstrikes targeted one of the ISIL sites in Kobani, media reports asserted.

Kurdish sources accused ISIL terrorists of using the chemical weapons, citing a chemical bomb that injuring and suffocating a number of locals.

The Syrian Information minister Omran al-Zoabi asserted that the government will help the citizens in Ain al-Arab in order to defeat ISIL.
