Fighters of the YPG-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have encircled the military airport of Tabqa to the south of the Tabqa city in order to take the Raqqa city and Tabqa Dam under control.

After liberating two villages to the south and southwest of the airport last night, SDF fighters launched an offensive on the military airport.

Reports from the ground suggest that SDF fighters are making further advances with armored vehicles and heavy weaponry to liberate the airport amid violent clashes with ISIS gangs in the surrounding areas.

In the meantime ISIS targets are also targeted by strikes of the international coalition aircraft.
