Huge explosions rock Kobani
Description
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
Large explosions continued to rock the Syrian border town of Kobani on Wednesday (October 22), hours after the Pentagon warned the town could still fall to Islamic State militants, despite U.S.-led airstrikes targeting the area.
One of the larger explosions, at about 11:00 GMT on Wednesday, sent a massive plume of grey smoke high into the air above Kobani.
Islamic State militants have been battling Kurdish fighters for a month to take control of the town near the Turkish border, but stepped-up air strikes by U.S-led forces have helped Kurds fend off the advance.
The coalition has been bombing Islamic State targets in Iraq since August and extended the campaign to Syria in September.
