The Syrian army has taken complete control of the city of al-Shaddadi in northeast Syria, imposing a curfew after ISIL fighters escaped from a prison amid clashes with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). The army is conducting searches for the escaped fighters, with the Syrian Operations Authority transferring control of the prison and security facilities to the Ministry of Interior. The SDF claims the prison was lost after an army attack, resulting in casualties, while the US-led coalition did not intervene. The SDF has agreed to withdraw from Raqqa and Deir Az Zor as part of a ceasefire deal with President Ahmed al-Sharaa, with the province of Hasakah still under SDF control.
