The defeat of ISIS has scorched the sky over Baghuz with a hell like inferno of fires and explosions.
The battle has not been easy and evidence of that can be seen in the footage, a screenshot of which was put up by media center of the SDF, which shows an ATGM slamming into a berm next to a truck, in which the truck is destroyed and the SDF take casualties.
