The US-backed Syrian force closing in on Islamic State's last territorial bastion near the Iraqi border expects a "decisive battle" on Sunday after slow advances, a spokesman said overnight.
"We expect a decisive battle in the morning," Marvan Qamishlo, a military media official for the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), told Reuters on a hill overlooking Baghouz village.
