The Syrian army has taken control of several major oil and gas fields in eastern Syria, particularly around Deir ez-Zor province. The forces captured the country's largest oil field and other key energy sites from the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). This military advance extends the Syrian government's control in the north and east, reaching areas near Raqqa. The recapture of these energy resources is seen as a significant economic and strategic prize for Damascus.
