The US has airdropped weapons and supplies for Kurdish forces fighting Islamic State (IS) near the Syrian town of Kobani.
A statement from US Central Command said Air Force C-130 aircraft "delivered weapons, ammunition and medical supplies that were provided by Kurdish authorities in Iraq and intended to enable continued resistance against ISIL's (IS) attempts to overtake Kobani."
Multiple airdrops were completed near the town, which is close to the border with Turkey.
The statement said 135 US airstrikes near Kobani in recent days - combined with continued resistance on the ground - had slowed IS advances and killed hundreds of its fighters.
"However, the security situation in Kobani remains fragile as ISIL continues to threaten the city and Kurdish forces continue to resist," the statement added.
