Text: Following the withdraw of the SDF and allied tribal militias from defensive positions to the east of Aleppo earlier today, the Syrian Army and allied militias have launched a rapid offensive against remaining areas held by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on the west bank of the Euphrates River in Northern Syria, making massive gains, with clashes now being reported on the outskirts of Al-Tabqah.
Text: However, emerging reports indicate that units affiliated with the Syrian Transitional Government (STG) violated the agreement, cutting off an SDF column during its retreat. Heavy clashes are now underway in Maskanah, with HTS and allied factions launching ground assaults in the Dibsi Afnan and Maskanah areas. These attacks are reportedly taking place while Turkish fighter jets monitor the area. Meanwhile, YPJ and SDF units are responding to attacks in the Dibsi Afnan area, west of Raqqa. |
