U.S. Military Starts Building First Base in Kobane, Syria Using 13 Trucks of Concrete Barriers
Jan 2, 2025, 09:59 AM
The U.S. military has begun constructing a new base in the Syrian city of Kobane, also known as Ayn al-Arab, which is controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and located near the border with Turkey. This move, reported by Kurdish sources, is seen as a response to Turkey's threats of military action against the Kurdish population in the city. The construction involves a convoy of 13 trucks carrying concrete barriers, indicating a significant effort to establish a long-term military presence in the area. The base, the first of its kind in the city, is intended to support the Kurdish militia and protect the city from potential Turkish invasion, with the involvement of the international coalition.
