The terrorist organization PKK/YPG, after losing ground in clashes with local Arab tribes, reportedly sought assistance from the United States.

The group has been engaged in ongoing conflicts with Arab tribes in the region, and recent reports suggest that the PKK/YPG provided reconnaissance information to U.S. forces, pinpointing new targets.

In response, U.S. forces conducted drone strikes targeting the identified individuals and locations.

It is reported that a recent strike, based on information provided by the PKK/YPG, led to the assassination of a key figure from one of the Arab tribes opposing the group.

The individual, killed in a drone strike while traveling in a vehicle, was allegedly a prominent member of one of the Arab tribes in conflict with the PKK/YPG.

In response to the escalating tensions, the U.S. has taken precautionary measures at its bases in Hasakah, including Robarya, Rumeylan, and Shaddadi.

These bases have reportedly received an influx of around 700 PKK/YPG fighters, who are strategically positioned at the Omar Oil Field, Koniko and Tanak bases east of the Euphrates River.

The U.S. military has also reinforced these bases with a convoy of 70 military vehicles, including Humvees and trucks loaded with ammunition.
