Daesh is still in control of the city of Al-Bukamal, despite the fact that the Assad regime continues to claim the capture of the city. There are still ongoing clashes between the organization and Assad’s forces in the outskirts of the city amid heavy airstrikes on the frontlines.

Yesterday, the head of the regime defense ministry claimed the ‘liberation’ of Al-Bukamal east of Deir Ezzor and the media outlet run by Assad’s forces released footages showing clashes on the vicinity of the city. But, they have not released any footage from inside the city.
