SOHR sources say that a number of al-Dardara residents and members of regime forces have blocked US armored vehicles at al-Dardara Bridge in the western countryside of Tal Tamer, preventing it from passing.

Meanwhile, a patrol of Russian forces intervened to resolve the dispute between US forces and residents with regime forces, but to no avail, forcing them to retreat and return from another road.

In the meantime, U.S. armoured vehicles blocked a patrol of Russian forces in the village of Ain al-Abed, after passing from there.

This incident comes as a part of the almost-daily skirmishes between US and Russian forces in Al-Hasakah countryside.

The patrol headed this morning to Suwadik and Shukr Khan villages in southern Al-Malikiyah.
