US alleges Russian armoured car rammed American vehicle, injuring soldiers
White House said alleged move was ‘unprofessional’ when patrols from two countries’ militaries confronted each other in Syria
The US has alleged a Russian armoured car rammed a US military vehicle, injuring American soldiers, in what the White House called “unsafe and unprofessional” behaviour when patrols from the two countries’ militaries confronted each other in north-eastern Syria.
According to the US national security council (NSC), the incident took place on Tuesday morning near a location it described as “Dayrick”, a possible reference to Derik, near the Turkish and Iraqi borders.
