Tensions escalated in north‑east Syria after violent clashes between the self‑proclaimed Syrian Democratic Forces and the army of the de facto government, controlled by HTS. Fighting in Al Raqqa province left at least three soldiers dead and several wounded. Both sides accuse each other of violating the ceasefire agreement reached on Sunday, which aimed to integrate Kurdish militias into the Syrian state. The clashes occurred near Al‑Aqtani prison, where Islamic State combatants are held, raising fears of further destabilization across the region.
