Syrian troops have captured the Omar oil field and the Conoco gas field in the Deir Zor province, which are crucial for the U. S.-backed Kurdish-led forces’ revenue.
This loss is significant for the Kurdish forces, as it impacts their resources. The Syrian army is pushing into areas controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), despite calls from the U. S. to stop their advance. A government source reported that advances led by Arab tribal fighters allowed Syrian forces and their allies to occupy over 150 km of territory along the Euphrates River.
Additionally, the army took control of the city of Tabqa and its dam, though Kurdish authorities have not confirmed these losses.
