US military vehicles Saturday entered a Kurdish-held area in northeastern
Syria and met with officials, AFP correspondents and a local source said, in the second such visit since an announced US pullout from the
Turkish border area.
Beige-coloured armoured vehicles flying the
American flag pulled up at the headquarters of the Kurdish-led Syrian
Democratic Forces outside the city of Qamishli.
A US-led coalition has for years backed the SDF in fighting the
Islamic State group, but the announcement of an American withdrawal triggered a deadly Turkish invasion against the
Kurds on October 9.
