"The regime's forces...have mounted large-scale attacks using planes, artillery, and tanks," Syrian Democratic Forces spokesman Talal Selo said in a statement.

A U.S. warplane shot down a Syrian army jet on Sunday southwest of Raqqa, with Washington saying the army had dropped bombs near U.S.-backed forces and Damascus saying the plane had been flying a mission against Islamic State militants.

There was no immediate comment from the Syrian army.
