The Independent: US-backed Syrian fighters seize parts of Isis 'capital' Raqqa
Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces said they captured neighbourhood of Romaniah after two days of fighting.
A US-backed Syrian opposition force said it has captured a northwestern neighbourhood of the Isis de-facto capital of Raqqa - the second district to fall in their hands in days after the group launched a wide offensive to gain control of the city.
The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said its fighters captured the neighbourhood of Romaniah after two days of fighting that left 12 Isis gunmen dead, including a commander known as Abu Khattab al-Tunsi.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said SDF fighters now control Romaniah and the eastern neighbourhood of Mashlab.
