An Islamic State bomber crossed from Turkey and detonated an explosive-laden car in the Syrian border town of Kobani, Turkey’s Kurdish Party said on Saturday.
The town of Kobani has been thrown into further chaos as fighting between Islamic State militants and Kurdish fighters has intensified.
According to a Kurdish official, an armoured car had crossed from Turkey at dawn and exploded at a border crossing in Kobani.
Another bomber wearing an explosive vest blew himself up in the same area, before two more suicide attacks hit the southwestern edge of Kobani.
Meanwhile, the U.S-led coalition launched two airstrikes against Islamic State targets in the east of Kobani, according to the BBC.
The Turkish government denied that the bomber travelled to Syria from Turkey. Kurdish forces have been resisting the advance of Islamic State militants for more than two months, but Ankara considers Kurdish militia a threat because it might encourage separatism among Kurds in Turkey.
