[intern reporter Ma Yan] according to ABC News on August 17, Syrian official media said that the U.S. military and Syrian government forces clashed in Northeast Syria that day, causing at least one death and two injuries to the Syrian army. At the same time, the US side responded that it had responded to a small arms attack at a Syrian checkpoint. The report quoted Sana’a news agency as saying that a US armed helicopter attacked a checkpoint near the town of kamishli at about 9:45 a.m. local time, causing one death and two injuries to the Syrian army, but the Syrian army successfully prevented the passage of the US military convoy. However, the U.S. military issued a statement saying that the United States led coalition forces and Kurdish armed forces met a Syrian military checkpoint during the patrol against Isis, but were allowed to pass through safely. Subsequently, the patrol was attacked by small arms from near the checkpoint and returned fire. There were no casualties in the US led coalition and Kurdish forces. According to the report, hundreds of U.S. troops are currently deployed in Northeast Syria to fight against the “Islamic state” together with the Syrian democratic army led by the Kurdish armed forces.
