notes: The previous days attack was followed by a ground attack on 20-21/08. Heavy clashes between AS and anti-AS forces were reported on 21/08. The fighting started after anti-AS militias fighters attacked AS positions in Buusaar. While the attack was ongoing some AS units managed to turn around the main attacking force and managed to take control of a logistic base allowing them to seize three lorries (1 water-tanker, 1 ration-truck, 1 ammo truck) and two or three technicals. Heavy casualties were suffered by anti-AS forces and the confrontation turned to their disadvantage. At least 18 combatants from the both sides were reported dead.
