Al-Asharah Bridge in eastern Deir ez-Zor countryside has been temporarily taken out of service following the collapse of part of its surrounding earthen embankment due to the strong flow of the Euphrates River and the rise in its water level over the past few days.

Local sources told ANHA correspondent that the damage caused by the force of the water led to the suspension of traffic across the bridge as a precautionary measure, amid concerns that the damage could expand further in the surrounding area.
