For the fourth time in the last several weeks, American troops have stopped Russian forces seeking to enter areas close to oil fields American troops are ‘protecting’.

Kurdish news outlet Rojava posted images and video of the incident surfaced; the conflict was near the town of Tell tamr city in Hasakah province.

Russian helicopters and U.S. warplanes flew over Tal Tamr half an hour after the incident, Anha reported. The outlet did not say how long the standoff lasted, reported The Moscow Times.

Commenting on that incident, a top U.S.-led coalition commander said “the Russians are always testing us,” Anadolu reported Thursday.
