According to pro-government sources, the Syrian Arab army (SAA) and its allies have taken control over all villages located on the eastern bank of the Euphrates, north of Deir Ezzor city.
The reports indicate that government troops have taken control of Junaynah, Maiishiyah, Jiyah, Shaqrah, Jubaylah, Safirah Fawqani and Safirah at-Tahtaniyah. However, no photos or videos are available that can confirm this right now.
Separately, reports are circulating that the SAA Tiger Forces have crossed the Euphrates near Mayadin city, captured Dabyan and Ruqayb and entered the nearby village of Tybian. This advance, if confirmed, is likely linked with the expected government push towards the Omar oil fields.
