The army men engaged in fierce clashes with ISIL forces that had attacked the pro-government forces' positions near T2 Oil Pumping Station near the border with Iraq and managed to fend off their attack.

Also, the army's artillery and missile units pounded ISIL's movements and strongholds in the region, killing and wounding a number of them.

In the meantime, the army men clashed with invading ISIL militants in al-Sukriyeh region near the newly-liberated town of Albu Kamal in Southeastern Deir Ezzur, and repelled their attack.
