Army claims it has retaken Al-Naydani, Shi’b Al-Sarari and other positions
Local coverage followed by Anadolu carried an army statement claiming the recapture of Al-Naydani village, Shi’b Al-Sarari, large parts of Sanamat and Ribat Al-Qarn in Dhi Al-Barh. The statement says fighting continues on the Sabr front, with troops surrounding entrances to Al-Sarari and clearing mines from positions. This is one party’s account, without independent verification of territorial boundaries or when each position was retaken; the text provides no specific, verifiable loss tally.
