Monitor: Syrian regime retakes over a quarter of rebel enclave

BEIRUT — The Syrian regime has retaken control of more than a quarter of the rebel-held enclave of Eastern Ghouta on the outskirts of the capital Damascus, a monitoring group says.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says regime forces have advanced to three kilometers (two miles) from Douma, the main town, after seizing control of “more than 25 percent” of the enclave, in operations mostly through farmlands.
