Diyaaradaha dagaalka Mareykanka ayaa Khamiistii soo riday diyaarad aan duuliye la socon (drone) oo Turkiga leeyahay, taasi oo loo arkay inay halis ku tahay ciidamada Mareykanka ee Syria, waxaa sidaas sheegay Pentagon-ka.
Soo-riditaanka ayaa yimid xilli Turkiga uu beegsanayey xoogagga Kurdish-ka ee Syria, taasi oo ka dambeysay qarax is-miidaamin ah oo ka dhacay Ankara, oo ay sheegatay kooxda PKK.
Ciidamada Mareykanka ayaa arkay diyaaradaha drone-ka oo fulinaya duqeymo subaxnimadii hore ee Khamiistii, oo qaarkood ku sugnaa “aagga howlgallada ka xaddidan” (ROZ) ee u dhow Hasakeh, oo qiyaastii hal kilo mitir u jira ciidammada Mareykanka, ayuu afhayeenka Pentagon-ka, Brigadier General Pat Ryder u sheegay suxufiyiinta.
Ryder waxa uu yiri “Taliyayaasha Maraykanku waxa ay qiimeeyeen… diyaaradda, oo markan wax ka yar nus kiilomitir u jirta ciidamada Maraykanka, in ay tahay halis.”
Xoghayaha difaacca Mareykanka Lloyd Austin ayaa Khamiistii la hadlay dhiggiisa Turkey Yasar Guler, isaga oo ku booriyey “in la qaboojiyo xiisadda waqooyiga Syira, iyo muhiimadda in si adag loo ilaaliyo qawaaniinta isku dhacyada iyo isgaarsiinta iyada oo loo marayo hab milatari ka militari ah,” ayuu Ryder ku yiri war-saxaafadeed.
Mareykanka ayaa waxaa Syria ka jooga qiyaastii 900 oo askari oo qeyb ka ah dadaallada caalamiga ah ee lagula dagaalamayo kooxda Daacish.
