According to the publication, the Russian military convoy consisted of more than 30 armored vehicles and trucks set off from Al-Qamishli towards Ain Issa in northern Al-Raqqa. The Russian military convoy reportedly took the recently opened M-4 (Aleppo-Hasakah Highway) Highway that links the administrative capitals of Al-Hasakah and Aleppo.

On Monday, the Russian reconciliation center announced the reopening of the M-4 Highway between Aleppo and Al-Hasakah; this was an important move for Damascus, as civilians will now be able to travel to northeastern Syria in their personal vehicles.
