MOSCOW (Dispatches) – Russia's airbase in Syria’s Lattakia province, known as Humeimim, says Washington supports the Daesh terrorist group in the Arab country through the U.S.-backed so-called Syrian Democratic Forces.
Humeimim announced that it has gained field reports disclosing that Washington is indirectly supporting and equipping the Daesh terrorists.
It added that Washington supports the terrorists group through its illegally created allies, the SDF forces, who pursue disintegration of Syria.
Meantime, local sources in Dayr al-Zawr reported that the SDF forces have detained scores of civilians in the province, including women, children and the elderly, en route from Damascus to the region and prevented their move to the province.
A well-informed source reported on Monday that the U.S. forces were building a new military base in a desert-like region in Eastern Dayr al-Zawr two weeks after the Washington-backed SDF claimed to have started their anti-Daesh operation in Eastern Syria.
The source said that the U.S. military is building a new base equipped with advanced military tools and systems in Badiyeh (desert) al-Sha'afa in Dayr al-Zawr province, adding that the construction of the base has been justified as a move in support of the SDF against Daesh in Eastern Dayr al-Zawr, while SDF has been engaged in several confrontations against the Syrian army.
The sources further said that the U.S. forces and the Washington-backed terrorists claim to be preparing for a possible operation against Daesh in the region, while they are spreading to the territories held by the Syrian army.
