On Monday, clashes erupted in the city of Aleppo in northern Syria between government forces and Kurdish forces, resulting in casualties and injuries. The incident coincided with a visit by a Turkish delegation to Damascus, which emphasized the importance of integrating the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) into the army. The official Syrian news agency reported that a civilian was killed as a result of shelling by the SDF with mortar shells and rocket-propelled grenades in several neighborhoods of Aleppo. Meanwhile, the Syrian Democratic Forces announced that a woman was killed and six civilians were injured as a result of their neighborhoods being shelled by government forces. Earlier, the Syrian Ministry of the Interior accused the Syrian Democratic Forces, stationed in the Sheikh Maqsoud and Al-Ashrafiyah neighborhoods of the city, of attacking "internal security forces at joint checkpoints... despite existing agreements," adding that the attack resulted in "one internal security force member and one soldier being injured." The Aleppo Governorate's Media Directorate also reported that three Civil Defense members were injured, along with an unspecified number of civilians, in an attack by the Syrian Democratic Forces.
