Bloody Clashes in Aleppo: At Least Nine Dead in Government-Kurdish Battles – Airport and Schools Closed

Bloody clashes between Syrian government forces and Kurdish fighters in Aleppo have killed at least nine people on Tuesday. The ongoing hostilities have led to the suspension of flights to and from the city's airport for 24 hours and the closure of schools and public services. The clashes are related to talks on the implementation of an agreement to integrate the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) into state security mechanisms. Both sides accuse each other of violating the agreement, with the government claiming the SDF targeted neighborhoods and the Ministry of Defense accusing the SDF of failing to comply with the agreement.
