Jafra oil fields under SDF control

A spokesperson for Operation Cizre Storm said that Syrian Democratic Forces now control Jafra Oil Fields, north of Deir ez-Zor.

Lilwa El Ebdullah, Operation Cizre Storm spokesperson said that SDF forces liberated Jafra oil fields in Deir ez-Zor governate. The oil fields were one of the most important revenue sources for ISIS.

The news came after reports of violent clashes in the region between SDF and ISIS. Russian and Syrian forces also tried to slow down the advance of SDF by airstrikes.

But the area was liberated on Saturday morning. The SDF forces are now conducting search operations in Jafra.

Jafra was bombed by the international coalition led by the US last year.
