🇸🇾❌🇸🇾 — General Situation in Syria as of midnight (21/1/26 - 22/1/26)
➡️ In the Kobani region, the SAA advanced along the Euphrates river to the Sheikhs region (Sheikh Fawqani & Sheikh Tahtani) after tribal fighters led the charge into the region and clashed with YPG there. Meanwhile, the SAA advanced up to the western edge of the abandoned airbase to the north of Sarrin. Further east, the SAA took over the Lafarge cement plant - which was the center of a controversy involving funding for IS in return for continued operations during the height of the civil war and led to French authorities launching a criminal investigation into the company.
➡️ Overall it's largely quiet despite a few drone strikes launched by YPG in the area of Jabal Abdalaziz, the south of Hasakah city, Kobani region, and Ya'rubiya. A convoy of unknown number of Kurdish fighters crossed from Iraqi Kurdistan into Syria at the Faysh Khabur crossing in response to a general call to arms by the YPG.
➡️ In the Suwayda region, militias loyal to Hikmat al-Hijri launched some artillery shells at Syrian government positions in the governorate, but nothing beyond that so far. Likely just an attempt to distract the Syrian government in support of the YPG.
