Several sources have told RIA Novosti about the alleged transfer of Daesh commanders by "US military aviation" from a Syrian town in an unknown direction.
"American military aviation first made a maneuver in the area … near a Mayadin farm. Then [the military aircraft] launched an airstrike; we tried to hide and saw several US helicopters. There were foreign Daesh commanders on the ground, who were waiting for them next to their headquarters. … The helicopters took them outside of Mayadin," a local shepherd, Muhammad Awad Hussein, told RIA Novosti.
