NBC: Kurdish troops have turned to the Syrian government and Russia for help, as U.S. forces move out of the region.
Regime forces are currently less than four miles away from the border with Turkey and are expected to advance farther toward the area surrounding Ras al Ayn border town, according to the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights, a monitoring group based in Britain.
On the Turkish side of the border, dozens of armored vehicles, Turkish tanks and military equipment streamed toward the front lines. Across the border in Syria, Turkish F-16 fighter jets could be seen circling over the town of Qamishlo, the administrative center of the Kurdish autonomous authority.
The deployment came as the United States heads toward an almost-total withdrawal from Syria and the civilian death toll reached 39, according to the Kurdish Red Crescent.
