The Syrian army assisted by the Russian Aerospace Forces is currently on an offensive launched after the historic liberation of the city of Deir ez-Zor and the lifting of its three-year terrorist blockade aiming to wipe Daesh out of the province. As a result of the operation, the Syrian army have already gained control of a number of areas in the Euphrates River valley and freed the once largest Daesh stronghold in the Deir ez-Zor province from terrorists that had been used by the jihadists to accumulate weapons and manpower to launch attacks on the cities of Palmyra and Deir ez-Zor.

Most lately, a Russian submarine launched a strike with the Kalibr cruise missiles from the Mediterranean on the Daesh targets in Abu Kemal to help the Syrian army's offensive on the ground.
