Russian forces intercept US military convoy in Syria

Damascus, Jun 21 (Prensa Latina) Russian forces operating in Syria at the request of its legitimate Government on Monday intercepted a United States military convoy in the northern region of this country and forced it to retreat, media reported.

The incident occurred in Tall Tamr town, on strategic M-4 highway that connects northern Aleppo province with northeastern Hasakeh province.

Images broadcast of the event showed four US military vehicles that could not move on the path because the Russian soldiers prevented it.

Sources cited by Russia Today indicated that the US patrol violated the protocols for being in this area without having previously notified to the Russian side to avoid confrontations.

The Pentagon sent troops to Syria without the authorization of its Government or the United Nations under the pretext of fighting terrorism, however, they are currently concentrated around the oil fields.
