Pro-government forces supported by the Russian Aerospace Forces have entered the Sukhna gas field near the important ISIS-held town of Sukhna northeast of Palmyra, according to pro-government sources.
Heavy clashes are reportedly now ongoing in the gas field area. If government troops secure it, their next step will be to enter the town of Sukhna itself.
Earlier this week, the army and its allies liberated a number of hills overlooking the ISIS-held town and established a fire control over it.
