Militants of the so-called Syrian Free Army (SSA) allied with the Turkish Armed Forces fired on Sunday a convoy of American troops heading for Iraq. This was reported to reporters at a briefing by the head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of the warring parties in Syria, Major General Yuri Borenkov.
"Information was received through the deconflicting line with the American side that on November 3, a convoy of American troops moving along the M4 road towards the border with Iraq, 6 km west of the settlement of Tell Tamer, was fired from the territory controlled by the pro-Turkish militants of the Syrian national army (new name SSA - approx. TASS.) There are no victims, "Borenkov said.
Since October 9, units of the Turkish army have been in northern Syria. Initially, Ankara announced that it would carry out Operation Source of Peace there in order to create a buffer zone. During the operation, Ankara established control over the territory between the cities of Ras al-Ain and Tell Abyad.
On October 13, Pentagon chief Mark Esper said the United States was launching the withdrawal of about 1,000 American troops from northern Syria due to the Turkish offensive. On October 16, US-led international coalition forces completely eliminated their military base, located in the area of Kobani (Ain al-Arab), 150 km from Aleppo in northern Syria, and also left the cities of Raqqa and Tabka in the north-east of the Arab Republic. On October 21, Reuters reported that a group of US troops crossed the Syrian border toward the Iraqi province of Dahuk (part of Iraqi Kurdistan). In Baghdad, they emphasized that we are talking about transit. On October 27, US President Donald Trump confirmed that the military would return from Iraq to the United States.
