Syrian government forces have reportedly captured another village west of the town of Tabqah controlled by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the province of Raqqah. Syrian army troops took control of the village of Shu’ayb al-Dhakr near Ramthan.
If government forces are going to continue advancing in the area, they may seek to reach the villages of Jubb Urman and Jubb Ghanim in order to prevent the SDF expansion southwest of Tabqah.
