On Sunday, Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) took control of Al-Umar region, which is the largest oil field in Syria.
SDF fighters captured Al-Umar oil field after clashes with ISIS gangs on Sunday, SDF sources said.
The oil field is about 25 kilometres east of Deir ez-Zor city and is the largest oil field in Syria.
