Fighting in the "Akerbat pocket"
Last night, the Syrian army and its allied formations continued their offensive, this time operating in the area of the "Akerbat pocket" and around As-Sukhn. According to sources from the field, Syrian troops and tribal militia attacked the second part of the "Akerbat Boiler", advancing from the Al-Kavn Oasis and taking control of several large heights, as well as a number of oil and gas fields such as Hussein, Gavar- 2 "," Gadir-1 "," Twinnai "and" Akram ", thereby significantly reducing the territory of the second part of the first" Akerbatsky pocket. "
A little later, by night, reports began to be received about the advance of the Syrian army units near the town of As-Sukhn. As a result of the fighting in the area, Al-Najib gas station was taken 8 kilometers from the city. In the morning, detachments of the Syrian army and the Syrian People's Militia attacked and took the heights of Talil Garbi and Sharqiyya in the vicinity of the mountains of Sumeriya.
More and more reports come from the massive withdrawal of militants of the "Islamic State" organization banned in Russia from central Syria, nevertheless, some of the militants still remain on the defensive lines, using mountain ranges as base points.
Some sources all claim that there is no complete control over the ways of reporting the IG militants between the two parts of the "Akerbat pocket", and between the two groups of about 10-5 kilometers, but they are still under the fire control of the Syrian army and are completely shot through. In other words, the "pocket" has not yet completely turned into a "boiler", however, as a result of successful military actions by the Syrian army, it was possible to significantly reduce the territories previously controlled by the militants of the "Islamic State"
