US evacuates first military warehouse in Syria

According to a reliable local source, the US forces vacated a warehouse in Malikiye in the northeast al-Hasakah province, Anadolu Agency reported.

Hummer armored vehicles and trucks from the 400-square-meter (4,306 square foot) warehouse--around which some 50 US troops were based-- were sent to Iraq.

The US troops based around the warehouse also left for Iraq.

Washington's military presence in Syria has included some 18 military bases.

US President Donald Trump last week made a surprise announcement that the US would withdraw its troops from Syria. His decision followed a phone call with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in which the two leaders agreed on the need for more effective coordination over the civil war-torn country.
