A Russian military vehicle is seen during a patrol in areas jointly controlled by the Syrian army and the Kurdish forces near the town of Tall Tamr in the western countryside of Hasakah, Syria, on Oct. 26, 2019. Over 2,000 Syrian soldiers were deployed Saturday on a key road connecting the northeastern province of Hasakah with northern Aleppo province, the largest deployment since the army left the area five years ago, a war monitor reported. The Syrian military units, which were deployed on the highway, were accompanied by Russian forces, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. (Str/Xinhua)
