- Aleppo’s
Sheikh Maqsoud declared closed military zone. - Full
curfew imposed by Syrian authorities Friday. - Fighting
intensifies with Kurdish-led SDF forces.
A full curfew will be enforced from 630 a.m.( original time)
until further notice, according to a statement from the Syrian army’s
Operations Authority. Residents are advised to avoid windows, seek retreat on
lower bottoms, and stay down from places where SDF units are posted.
The Syrian army’s head of media and dispatches, Asim
Ghayloun, claimed that government forces had destroyed a security cache inside
the neighborhood that was employed by the SDF and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party(
PKK). He denied the SDF’s assertion that the position was a sanitarium,
claiming that occupant- mugged footage revealed recreating secondary explosions
that were harmonious with artillery that had been stored.
He went on to say that the army had enforced”
philanthropic measures,” similar as extending escape deadlines and opening
evacuation channels.
According to the Internal Security Forces( Asayish) in
Aleppo, their fighters attacked a group of Syrian government forces posted near
Sheikh Maqsoud, performing in verified government military losses. The
association indicted units combined with Damascus of” violent and nonstop
shelling” of domestic areas, including service centers and
hospitals.
As government forces tried to approach with tanks and
armored units, the Asayish claimed to have killed 13 bushwhackers, destroyed
two armored vehicles, and captured two fighters in the ongoing fighting near
the Ashrafieh quarter.
Authorities in Deir ez-Zor, in eastern Syria, closed the
Raqqa–Deir ez-Zor route close to the town of Maadan and declared that all river
crossings would be closed starting at 5:00 p.m. on Friday until further notice,
with the exception of humanitarian instances.
Syria’s Defense Ministry issued a deadline for armed groups
to leave a number of neighborhoods and declared a truce in some areas of Aleppo
earlier today. Agence France-Presse claimed at least 21 deaths total, but the
Health Ministry stated that the violence, which started on January 6, killed
four people and injured eighteen more.
The conflict coincides with failed attempts to put into
effect a deal intended to incorporate Kurdish military and administrative
institutions into Syria’s political system. Despite an agreement in April that
called for the evacuation of Kurdish fighters, Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh
have remained under Kurdish control.
