Intensified Clashes in Aleppo Drive Thousands to Flee Amid Government and Kurdish Forces Conflict
A surge in violence has erupted in Aleppo as clashes between the Syrian government and Kurdish-led fighters escalate. Thousands of civilians are fleeing the city as the Syrian army imposes a curfew and begins shelling Kurdish neighborhoods, with over 3,000 reported evacuated. Reports indicate at least nine fatalities in recent clashes, prompting calls from Syrian officials for Kurdish fighters to withdraw from contested areas. As tensions mount, accusations have been exchanged between the Syrian government and the self-declared Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), further complicating the humanitarian situation.
