The Syrian Democratic Forces, spearheaded by the Kurdish YPG militia, said ISIS terrorists were still holed up in other buildings, and plans were underway to clear the rest of the detention complex in Hasaka city.
"The operations to break into the prison have begun," one SDF source said. Another said allies in a US-led coalition were involved in the "ongoing operations" without elaborating.
At least 180 inmates and jihadists and 27 security forces have died since Islamic State fighters attacked the jail on Thursday in a bid to free their members, officials have said.
