The SANA Information Service announces, that the Syrian military blocked the path of a convoy of American troops in northern Syria. Reports say that, that the "meeting" of the Syrian and American military took place in the province of Hasakah, near the city of Tell Tamr. It is located at the intersection of important highways.. One of them - M4 - connects the east of the country with the province of Aleppo, the other is the eastern provinces of Syria with the Turkish border.
The reports of the Syrian news agency say that, that American armored cars, moving in a column, couldn't keep moving. The reason is, that Syrian soldiers in the area of the checkpoint in the vicinity of Tell Tamr took to the road with weapons in their hands, completely blocking it for the further advancement of the Americans.
According to eyewitnesses, warning fire did not open. The American side also decided not to escalate the situation. The military first tried to explain, that "they need to move on", but in the end they had to deploy their armored vehicles and go to a controlled base.
A few days ago, the Tell Tamra area, where are also the positions of the Kurdish armed forces, was fired from the territory controlled by Turkish troops. Kurds declared, that barrel artillery was used. No retaliatory action against the Turkish military and pro-Turkish militants in northern Syria Kurdish units, according to them, did not take, However, they turned to the US military for help. Did the Americans advance to patrol the area where the Kurdish and Turkish forces meet in the province of Hasakah?, unknown. Anyway, the advance of the American column of armored vehicles was blocked, and this was done by the SAR government forces.
