According to unconfirmed Turkish media reports, both the United States and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have reached an agreement allowing the US-led coalition to use the Tabqah air base south of Tabqah town in the province of Raqqah as a US collation base.
According to local sources, American soldiers are already doing maintenance at the base, and several helicopters of the US-led coalition have alredy been deployed there.
Yesterday, ISIS managed to regain Al-Sinaa district in the eastern part of Raqqah city, and so far the US-backed SDF has still been unable to regain the district.
However, according to Kurdish sources, the SDF’s priority now is the evacuation of civilians.

According to opposition sources, violent clashes are currently taking place between ISIS and SDF fighters in Ratla village.
The US-led coalition announced that its warplanes carried out 20 air strikes against ISIS targets in Raqqa Province during the last 24 hours.
Opposition sources said at least six civilians lost their life as a result of US airstrikes in the last 24 hours. However, civil casualties began to decline after tens of thousands of civilians managed to get out of the city.
