Field sources reported that SDF fighters were transferred to areas east of the Euphrates after the confrontations subsided. In an interview with MEE, Aleppo’s Internal Security Commander Colonel Muhammad Abdul-Ghani said engineering teams had begun clearing and reopening buildings in the areas, adding that state institutions would soon be re-established. He stressed that Kurds are an integral part of Syria and said authorities are working to reassure residents. Support stories that matter.
