As the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces were reported to have reached the eastern edge of Raqqa’s Old City on June 12, video from a Kurdish news source also showed fighters approaching from the north.
Footage here shows shots being fired near the city’s train station and a large grain storage and processing facility on the northeastern edge of the city. SDF forces were also advancing from the west of Raqqa as part of a major offensive to take the city.
