Two SDF militants killed in northeastern Syria: SANA
Two members of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which enjoy Washington’s support, have been killed in separate incidents of bomb and gun attacks in northeastern Syria, a report says.
The official news agency SANA, citing local sources, reported on Monday that the first fatality took place after a vehicle transporting SDF militants was hit by an improvised explosive device (IED) in the east of the city of Raqqah.
The other SDF militant was killed after a vehicle working in close cooperation with the US military came under fire by heavily-armed assailants in southern Hasakah.
The security situation has apparently been deteriorating in the areas controlled by the SDF in the provinces of Hasakah and Dayr al-Zawr.
The White House has long been providing the SDF with arms and militants. Washington says they are a key partner in the purported fight against the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group.
Many observers, however, see the support in the context of Washington’s plans to carve out a foothold in Syria.
Such support has also angered Turkey, which views militants of the People’s Protection Units (YPG), the backbone of the SDF, as a terrorist organization tied to the homegrown Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
