On September 21, the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) advanced 2km towards the town of Hajin in the southeastern Deir Ezzor countryside and captured 15 positions in the vicinity of the town, according to the SDF media center.
“The liberated area was completely cleared and the trenches and tunnels, which ISIS terrorists had been holed up in, were destroyed,” the SDF media center said in its daily report.
A day earlier, the SDF imposed control of the key town of al-Baghuz al-Fawqani, 25km south of Hajin. According to the SDF media center, US-backed fighters are currently working to clear the town from the IEDs and mines, which had been planted by ISIS fighters.
15 ISIS fighters were reportedly killed during clashes with the SDF in the last 24 hours. Furthermore, US-led coalition warplanes conducted 5 airstrikes on positions and vehicles of the terrorist group.

The upcoming hours will likely witness the beginning of the SDF attack on ISIS positions in the town of al-Susah, north of al-Baghuz al-Fawqani. ISIS fighters will attempt to stop US-backed forces in the town to prevent their remaining positions on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River from collapsing.
