Syrian Army retreats from all new gains in Deir Ezzor following counter-attack by US-backed forces
2018-04-30
[ALMASDARNEWS] Earlier on Sunday, the Syrian Army and allied paramilitary groups launched a surprise attack against US-backed forces along the eastern shore of the Euphrates.

According to reports, the government assault resulted in at least five towns and villages ‐ Junaynah, Jayah, Shamrt Hossan, Huwayjat Ma’ishyah and Shaqrah ‐ coming under Syrian Army control, at least so for several hours.

New information from official sources suggests that government troops have since retreated from all five settlements following a counter-attack by US-backed forces ‐ whether or not American airpower was involved in the engagement remains unclear.

According to various sources, anywhere between six to nine US-backed fighters and possibly a top commander were killed in the festivities that took place; government losses are unknown.

It is still unclear why Syrian pro-government forces attacked US-backed factions today.

#4  TfSM,

Yes there are those of us that appreciate Wagner now and then that are no longer, by +50, teenagers.

Prokofiev is a favorite but I'm really more into the Baroque; Vivaldi, Bach, Albinoni, etc.

#2  Why Wagner? Why not Prokofiev?

(No, seriously. Why name something after Wagner?)

I mean, is there anyone out there who isn't a teenager who actually likes Wagner?
