US-backed forces in Syria reach "last main road" into IS-held Manbij - spokesman
US-backed forces fighting against Islamic State near the Syrian-Turkish border have reached the "last main road" into the city of Manbij, which is held by the jihadists, a spokesman said on Thursday.

"We have reached the road that links Manbij and Aleppo, from the west... (it is) the last main road to the city," Sharfan Darwish, spokesman for the Syria Democratic Forces-allied Manbij Military Council, told Reuters.

He appeared to be referring to the highway between Manbij and IS-held al-Bab, further west. That highway also leads onto Aleppo city.
