DAMASCUS, SYRIA (2:00 A.M.) – On Tuesday evening, the predominately Kurdish ‘Syrian Democratic Forces’ (SDF) captured an important village in an isolated Islamic State pocket at northern bank of the Euphrates River.
Advancing in the western Raqqa countryside once again, YPG units captured Yamamah village and established fire control over the Baath dam.

With dangerous mopping-up operations underway as we speak, Kurdish troops have now besieged the Baath dam from two directions and will likely capture the facility in the coming day, thus bringing the three major Euphrates River dams under their control.
Earlier on Tuesday, the SDF liberated four neighboring villages in western Raqqa, more on that development here. A full interactive battle map of the region created an Al-Masdar News partner website is also readily available.
