US-controlled militants intensify in Syria - Russian Defense Ministry

[REGNUM] U.S.-backed militants are stepping up in Syria, Major General Oleg Yegorov, deputy head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties in Syria, said at a briefing on October 5.
SDF (Kurds)? Someone else? It would be really helpful if Major General Yegorov gave some hint of who these undisciplined people are, or at least where they’re operating.
In his opinion, this is evidence of the inability of the US military to control the zone they occupied.

"We pay special attention to the fact that illegal armed formations sponsored by the United States are increasing their activity. Since August 1, 2022, there have already been eight artillery strikes of positions of government forces. This indicates the inability of the American command to control the situation in the zone occupied by the US armed forces," he said.

"On October 4, at 18:30 Moscow time, a group of terrorists traveling in a pickup truck attempted to break out from the territory of the zone, while firing at the stronghold of the Syrian Arab Army from a heavy machine gun. The attempted breakthrough was thwarted by the fire action of the Syrian government units, the attackers fled to the territory occupied by the United States. As a result of the clashes, one Syrian soldier was injured," added Yegorov.
