Kurdish forces in northern Syria say they have full control of a border town believed to be a path in from Turkey for Islamic State (IS) fighters and supplies.

Anti-Islamic State militias raised their flags over Tal Abyad on Tuesday. Reporters observed the flag-raising from the Turkish side of the border.

The Pentagon on Tuesday said Tal Abyad remains contested, but anti-IS forces are very close to closing the border crossing.
