MOSCOW (Sputnik) – An US military convoy with logistics and equipment has entered northeastern Syria through a crossing on border with Iraq, the Syrian state-run SANA news agency reported on Sunday, citing sources.
The convoy reportedly got into Syria through the Al Waleed border crossing from Iraq and arrived at the northeast of Hasakah province.
The US military is stationed in the provinces of Hasakah and Deir ez-Zor without a legal basis. The Syrian authorities have repeatedly stated that the presence of the US contingent in the country violated the country’s sovereignty and international law.
The Syrian Civil War has been ongoing since 2011, with President Bashar Assad’s forces fighting against different insurgent groups, including the Daesh* terrorist organisation, the defeat of which in Syria and Iraq was announced at the end of 2017. As of now, the country’s authorities have been primarily focusing on the political settlement of the ongoing crisis, the restoration of Syria and the return of refugees.
