International Coalition’s military reinforcement | U.S. forces set up military base and airstrip for helicopters and cargo aircraft, east of Al-Hasakeh

SOHR sources say that U.S. forces have turned an agricultural airport in rural Al-Yarubiya (Tal Kougar), east of Al-Hasakeh into a military base, as well as setting up an airstrip for helicopters and cargo planes.

The new base was also fortified with concrete blocks and soil barriers.

Yesterday, the Syrian Observatory monitored the entry of an American column in north-eastern Syria via Al-Walid crossing from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The column headed to the city of Al-Shaddadi in countryside of Al-Hasakeh, and then set off today to the base of Qasrak.

The column consists of 19 vehicles, including 13 trucks carrying logistical and military materials and five armoured vehicles to protect the column.
