Syrian Army Continues Rolling in Deir Ezzur Countryside

The Syrian army imposed control on Al-Jieh Water Pump as well as the villages of Shaqareh and al-Alian West of Deir Ezzur city and on the Eastern coast of the Euphrates which was under the control of the Kurdish forces after the government troops imposed full control over al-Janineh and al-Jieh villages, field sources said.

The Syrian army’s advances in the region took place several days after construction of a bridge by the Russian forces between the two coasts of the Euphrates river for the passage of the military equipment and delivering them to the army positions in Eastern Euphrates, the sources added.

The army troops regained control over the two villages of al-Ji’ah and al-Janineh in Western Deir Ezzur after heavy clashes with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) forces.

Meantime, the SDF forces started dispatch of military equipment from al-Kasreh city to Western Deir Ezzur after Syrian army’s victory in the two regions.

This is while neither the Syrian army nor the Kurdish forces have confirmed or dismissed the news.

The Syrian army’s advances come as the SDF earlier on Sunday also dispatched forces and military equipment to Eastern Deir Ezzur from Raqqa province.

The SDF sent a military convoy comprising 350 fighters together with heavy military equipment from Kandal Square in Western Raqqa city to the SDF-controlled regions in Deri Ezzur.

The SDF terrorist convoy has been stationed near Hajin region in Eastern Deir Ezzur as the Kurdish forces are preparing for battle in the region.
