Story highlights Kurds have taken control of strategic Syrian city of Kobani, sources say

Official calls for humanitarian corridor for refugees, who "need everything"

The fighters have been battling ISIS since October for control of the city

(CNN) Kurdish fighters have taken the Syrian city of Kobani from ISIS' grip after 112 days of fighting with the Sunni extremist group, multiple sources said Monday.

The announcement comes a day after an Iraqi official declared that Iraq's Diyala Province had been "liberated" from ISIS.

Idriss Nassan, Kobani's deputy foreign minister, told CNN he expects an official announcement Tuesday "if things continue this way."

"YPG is in control," Nassan said, using the acronym for the People's Protection Units. "They are making sure to clear the streets and the places from ISIS to declare it a free city."

YPG spokesman Polat Can confirmed the news in a tweet: "Congratulations for liberation of Kobani to all of humanity, Kurdistan and people of Kobani."
