ERBIL, Iraq, Oct. 29 (UPI) -- Iraq's Kurdistan Regional Government announced Tuesday that Peshmerga fighters have been deployed to help Syria's Kurdish militias defend the town of Kobane from Islamic State takeover.

Kurdish militia have been defending the embattled town from IS (also known as ISIS or ISIL) takeover for over a month. The United States has provided aerial support, launching airstrikes against IS targets surrounding the city, and delivered much needed Iraqi-supplied weapons to militia fighters.

"Today KRG Peshmerga were deployed to support fight against ISIS. We are indebted to all those who fight terrorism," the KRG's U.S. office tweeted Tuesday.

"We welcome the deployment of Peshmerga fighters and weapons from the Kurdistan Region to Kobane," said Brett McGurk, deputy Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter ISIL.

The KRG Parliament approved the deployment of Peshmerga forces on Oct. 22.
