A U.S. defense official on Friday denied the reports Syria's Bashar al-Assad regime forces entered Manbij.
Syrian state-run SANA news agency reported earlier in the day, regime forces entered the city after the group invited forces to take control of the region and ward off an announced Turkish operation.
"The reports on regime incursion in Manbij are inaccurate," the official told Anadolu Agency on condition of anonymity.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has signaled a cross-border operation against the Kurdish YPG militia group in Syria will happen soon. Since 2016, Ankara has carried out two similar military operations in northern
Syria.
