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.

The RIC says “In #Baghouz, #ISIS are partially encircled by #SDF in a zone about 300-500m. On the other side is the Euphrates river. Their area is around 500m from the hill on the west side.”
