		</div><p>A US-backed Syrian force has captured a neighbourhood of the Islamic State group&#8217;s de-facto capital of Raqqa after two days of fierce fighting.</p>
<p>The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces said its fighters took Romaniah, north west Raqqa, on Sunday.<br />
The fighting left 12 IS gunmen dead, including a commander known as Abu Khattab al-Tunsi.</p>
<p>The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said SDF fighters now control Romaniah and the eastern neighbourhood of Mashlab. The fighters have also entered Raqqa&#8217;s western neighbourhood of Sabahiya.<br />
SDF fighters began their offensive on Raqqa city on June 6 under the cover of airstrikes by the US-led coalition.</p>
<p>The battle is likely to be long and difficult as the extremist group is expected to fiercely defend its self-declared capital.</p>
