"There is no way to go freely to Afrin. All the roads are being targeted by Turkish bombardment," YPG spokesman Nouri Mahmoud told Reuters.

Asked about the Turkish army's statement that the town had been encircled, Mahmoud said Afrin had long been surrounded "from all directions", saying Turkey was spreading false news to boost morale.
