Tribal fighters reached within 6 km of the Shuyoukh area east of Aleppo between 3:46 PM and 4:15 PM UTC on January 25, 2026, liberating Al Jasmiya Siddiq Village and facing remaining SDF fortifications at Al-Qanaya and Al-Boraz, according to DeirEzzore on X. Neutralizing fortifications at Al-Qanaya and Al-Boraz will clear the road to Shuyoukh, occupied for 11 years, as stated by DeirEzzore on X during the 29-minute period. These advances follow Syrian army liberations of Tal Ahmar, Zervektouk and Al Jasmiya villages earlier between 3:16 PM and 3:45 PM UTC, according to syrianFactCheck on X.
