The Kurdish Peshmerga forces in Syrian Kurdistan have shelled an Islamic State (IS) leadership base in the area.

A security source in Syrian Kurdistan told BasNews that Peshmerga on the western front of Kobani city bombarded the base, north of Jarablus.

The source explained that the operation took after intelligence reports suggested that high ranking IS leaders were meeting in the base.

BasNews understands that several IS leaders were killed, although the identity and number of casualties is not yet known, as IS militants have banned movements in the area.

Peshmerga forces have been in Syrian Kurdistan since October last year supporting the Kurdish fighters of the People’s Protection Unit (YPG) against the Islamic State militants in Kobani and other Kurdish area in Syrian Kurdistan.
