Coalition begins evacuating Qasrak Base in Hasakah countryside
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – The Global Coalition has begun evacuating the Qasrak military base in the northern countryside of Hasakah, informed sources told North Press on Saturday, marking a significant development in the deployment of coalition forces in northeast Syria.
According to the sources, the process of transferring equipment and logistical assets from the Qasrak base started several days ago and is expected to intensify in the coming days. The operation is projected to continue for approximately one month, with military personnel and equipment reportedly being relocated to the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
The Qasrak installation is considered the largest base operated by the Global Coalition in Syria. Coalition forces have maintained a presence there alongside another major installation at Kharab al-Jir base in the Rmelan area, both located within territories administered by the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) and secured by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
Sources familiar with the process stated that it remains unclear whether the evacuation will be complete or partial. No official statement has yet been issued by the Global Coalition regarding the scale or objectives of the withdrawal.
