Smoke rises over Kobane on Saturday as seen from the Turkish border
Gunfire and explosions can be heard from the Syrian border town of Kobane where Islamic State fighters are trying to encircle its Kurdish defenders.
The Kurds repulsed a pre-dawn attack and still control the town's border crossing point with Turkey.
The crossing point is a vital supply and exit route, correspondents say.
In Iraq, officials in Anbar province reportedly made an urgent appeal for military help against IS, warning the region could be overrrun.
