Interim government in Syria: "Syrian Democratic Forces" launches attack, resulting in two deaths and multiple injuries.

The Syrian Transitional Government Ministry of Defense said on the 20th that several positions of the transitional government forces in northern Raqqa province were attacked by the "Syrian Democratic Forces" early that morning, resulting in the deaths of two soldiers and injuries to multiple soldiers. The attack took place in the eastern part of Raqqa province, and the transitional government forces launched a counterattack thereafter. The Ministry of Defense of the transitional government believes that the "Syrian Democratic Forces" should be held responsible for this attack. The "Syrian Democratic Forces" issued a statement early on the 20th stating that their forces were targeting multiple locations in the eastern part of Raqqa province used by the extremist group "Islamic State" to launch drone attacks.
