 PKK-affiliated PYD seizes Syria’s largest oil field in Deir ez-Zoor
The US-backed PKK-affiliated PYD has seized control of Syria’s largest oil field, according to local sources.

PYD or "Syria Democratic Forces" (SDF) captured the al-Omar oil field in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zoor after ISIS terrorist group withdrew from it, the sources said Sunday on condition of anonymity due to security concerns.

According to the sources, PYD took control of the oil field before the Assad regime’s terrorists, which are three kilometers (some two miles) away from the field.

The PYD has sent hundreds of militias from the northern province of Raqqa to participate in a military operation that began earlier last month in Deir ez-Zoor.

On Sept. 23, PYD controlled Kuniko, Syria’s the largest gas producer company. It has also captured the Jafra oil field earlier this month.

Deir ez-Zoor is Syria’s richest oil region as it contains about 40 percent of the country’s oil.
