(24 Sep 2019) Turkish and US troops conducted their second joint ground patrol in northeastern Syria on Tuesday as part of a planned so-called "safe zone" that Ankara has been pressing for in the volatile region.
Turkey hopes the buffer zone, which it says should be at least 30 kilometres (19 miles) deep, will keep Syrian Kurdish fighters, considered a threat by Turkey but allies by the US in the fight against the Islamic State group, away from its border.
More than six American military vehicles accompanied four Turkish armoured vehicles.
The two sides came together in a joint patrol with American vehicles leading the convoy.
The troops went 10 kilometres (6 miles) into the Syrian territories from al Rafah village in Tel Abyad, and the joint patrol lasted for two hours.
