U.S. defense secretary says Syrian Kurdish YPG forces have left Manbij

U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter said on Thursday that fighters from the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia had left the town of Manbij in northern Syria, a move demanded by Turkey.

Carter made the comments to reporters after meeting his Turkish counterpart, Fikri Isik, in London. Ankara has said the YPG, which it regards as a terrorist group, must withdraw to the east of the Euphrates river.
