In the province of Latakia, Syria, unprecedented clashes occurred following the departure of Assad at the end of December. The Syrian news agency "Sana" reported this morning that a decision had been made to establish a curfew in the cities of Latakia and Tartus after serious clashes between militias associated with former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and governmental forces.
Extensive searches are being conducted in the central cities, villages, towns, and surrounding areas. Ensuring security and maintaining order throughout Syria is one of the most acute challenges facing the new government since its arrival in Damascus, considering the presence of armed factions and groups with different orientations in neighboring provinces.
"Sana" also reported the beginning of extensive searches in the central cities, villages, towns, and surrounding areas. At the moment of the news report, it was stated that more than seventy people died in the serious clashes between the militias, "Bashar al-Assad's loyalists," and governmental forces.
"The Syrian agency Sana reported that a decision had been made to introduce a curfew in Latakia and Tartus due to clashes between armed groups and security forces," the source stated.
