US airdrops arms and ammunition to Kurds fighting to retain control of Kobani

The US has airdropped arms, ammunition and supplies to Kurds who are fighting to retain control of Kobani and ensure that the city does not fall into the hands of the Islamic State militants foxnews.com.

It seems C-130 cargo planes carried out a number of drops of arms and supplies provided by Kurdish authorities in Iraq and the intention was to enable the Kurds maintain continued resistance to Islamic State efforts to take full control of Kobani. The items have reached the Kurds and there was no resistance on the ground or in air from Syria.
The airdrops were of 27 bundles of small arms, ammunition and medical supplies and were the first of their kind. It came after weeks of U.S. and coalition airstrikes in and near Kobani. U.S. Central Command (CentCom) has revealed that it had launched 11 airstrikes overnight in the area.

The Turkish government had opposed any sort of assistance by the US to the Kurds because it views the Kurds as an enemy. Therefore, US President Barack Obama had called Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to discuss the situation in Syria and notify him of the plan to make airdrops.
The reaction of President Erdogan is not known.
