The Syrian Arab Army (SAA), the National Defense Forces (NDF) and their allies have liberated a large area in the eastern Damascus desert.
According to the Syrian Defense Ministry, government forces have liberated Dier Nasrani, Rajm Bakar, Jabal Makhoul, Bi’r Makhoul, Jabal Seis, Tal Sad Risha and the nearby points, pushing US-backed militants to withdraw from a notable area south of the al-Seen airport.
The ministry added that the SAA and the NDF have killed a large number of militants and seized their equipment. However, no videos or photos have been provided. According to some local sources, US-backed forces had just withdrawn from the area.
