The Syrian army soldiers took full control over a power station in Deir Ezzor as they push to drive Daesh [the Arabic acronym for the Takfiri terrorist ‘ISIS/ISIL' group] out of the strategic eastern city.

Syrian Army, Allies Regain Deir Ezzor Power Station

Backed by the allied defense groups, the Syrian soldiers recaptured the facility, which lies west of Deir Ezzor air base, on Sunday following intense clashes with Daesh terrorists.

Moreover, Syrian soldiers seized control over the highway linking Deir Ezzor to the city of Sukhnah, and advanced on the Brigade 137 base as well as al-Panorama district. Scores of Daesh terrorists were killed and injured during the operations and their military hardware destroyed.

Syrian army units also tightened the noose around scores of Daesh terrorists on the outskirts of al-Taim oil field, killing and injuring many of them.

The developments came only a day after Syrian army troops and pro-government fighters managed to break a nearly three-year siege imposed by Daesh Takfiris on Deir Ezzor air base.

Meanwhile, the Syrian troops and their allies launched a new push on Friday towards the besieged military airport, as part of a multi-pronged offensive to retake the entire Deir Ezzor, located 450 kilometers northeast of the capital Damascus, from Daesh extremists.

At least 40 trucks carrying basic commodities such as fuel, food and medical supplies for civilians, in addition to two mobile clinics, arrived in Deir Ezzor on Thursday, only two days after Syrian army forces and fighters from popular defense groups reached the eastern city and breached the Daesh siege.

Daesh overran large parts of Deir Ezzor province, including its many oil fields, in mid-2014 as it seized swathes of land in Syria and neighboring Iraq.

By early 2015, the Takfiri terrorists were in control of some parts of Deir Ezzor city and besieged the remaining parts, which were under government control. It is estimated that 100,000 people remain in the government-held parts of the city.
