US-backed force says it seized first district in west Raqqa
US-backed Syrian fighters captured their first western district of the Islamic State group’s bastion Raqqa today, days after seizing an eastern neighborhood from the jihadists.
A statement by the Syrian Democratic Forces says their fighters “liberated the neighborhood of Al-Romaniya on the western front of Raqqa, after two days of continued clashes.”
