DAMASCUS, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) -- The Syrian army captured on Saturday the key oil field of Teym as part of a progress against the Islamic State (IS) in the countryside of Deir al-Zour province in eastern Syria, state news agency SANA reported.
The new achievement comes as part of the progress the army forces have made over the past 24 hours in reaching Deir al-Zour city from its main desert road.
The Teym oil field is only a few kilometers from the graveyard area at southern entrance of the city.
