Kurdish-led forces say they have retaken Syrian prison seized by IS
A Kurdish-led militia alliance says it has regained full control of a prison in north-eastern Syria seized by the Islamic State (IS) group six days ago. A spokesman for the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) tweeted that "all Daesh terrorists" inside Hasaka's Ghwayran prison had surrendered. Several hundred child detainees were also trapped in the facility with them. At least 181 people have reportedly been killed in clashes since IS tried to stage a mass breakout on Thursday.
