Description
Video from a pro-Syrian Kurdish news agency purportedly shows a U.S.-backed alliance of Kurdish-led armed groups beginning an operation to seize territory north of Islamic State's de-facto capital Raqqa, although the campaign at this stage does not include an assault on the city itself. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
