He says he was slightly injured by pieces of a mortar shell that landed close to him at the very beginning of the clash, and was taken back to the YPG base by another fighter for a check-up, and that they had returned to the fight after they understood that the injury was not serious.

Matson also reports that 8 IS members were killed in the clash, at the end of which the militants were repulsed.



Matson sent a message to his family and friends that he is fine, and says that he will stay in Syrian Kurdistan (Rojawa) until the struggle against IS is victorious.
