The SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces) denied that a breakout had occurred at Raqqa's Central Prison.

Since late last night, Asayish forces have been deployed in large numbers around the prison. Roads leading to the prison were closed.

The SDF said that the "sweep operations are part of the regular & precautionary security measures on the perimeter of the prison." Raqqa's Central Prison houses ISIS detainees, but also has a civilian wing.
