MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 30th December, 2018) The United States has cleared the first military warehouse in the northeastern Syrian province of Hasakah, media reported.
Sources told Turkey's state Anadolu news agency that the 4,306-square-foot warehouse on the border with Iraq was vacated on Friday.
The outlet said the warehouse, which contained trucks and Hummer armored vehicles, served as a hub for distributing military aid to the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia, whom Ankara sees as a terrorist group.
The 50 US troops based around the warehouse had been relocated to Iraq, the publication added, in line with US President Donald Trump's promise last week to pull all personnel from Syria.
