DAMASCUS, Oct 14 (NNN-XINHUA) – U.S.-led warplanes struck a convoy of the Syrian army, near the northern city of Raqqa on Sunday, with no reports on casualties.

The planes targeted the Syrian military convoy in the al-Rasafeh area, in the southwest of Raqqa, as the convoy was moving towards Tabaqa, in the west of Raqqa, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

The Britain-based watchdog group said the U.S. is trying to hinder the deployment of Syrian army in northern Syria.

It added that the Syrian government’s forces and Kurdish forces reached a deal, mediated by Russia, to counter the Turkish attack in northern Syria.

It allows for the deployment of the Syrian army on the Syrian-Turkish border, from the city of Ayn al-Arab, also known as Kobane, in the northern countryside of Aleppo, all the way to the Syrian-Iraqi border area in eastern Syria.
