Pro-government forces, led by the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) 5th Assault Corps, have liberated 5 more villages near the ISIS strong point of Uqayribat in the eastern countryside of Salamiyah. Government troops have liberated Maksar Janubi, Mukayman, Qastal Shamali, Qastal Wastani and Qastal Janubi.
Earlier, the SAA and its allies liberated the villages of Mukaymen Janoubi and Mushayrifah, and reportedly entered in the ISIS-held village of Qambar.
The ISIS defense is rapidly collapsing in the area.
