Following the liberation of al-Mayadin, Syrian government forces have retaken two villages from ISIS in the same area on the western bank of the Euphrates.
According to reports, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and its allies seized Buqrus Fawqani and Buqrus Tahtani northwest of Deir Ezzor.
Now, the SAA and its allies are securing the bank of the Euphrates between Deir Ezzor and Mayadin. Then, the SAA Tiger Forces will likely cross the Euphrates river and try developing momentum towards the strategic Omar oil fields.
