Syrian army orders civilians to evacuate near SDF in Aleppo

The Syrian army is urging civilians to evacuate parts of rural Aleppo governorate due to escalating tensions with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), leading to deadly clashes in Aleppo city. A “humanitarian zone” was opened for evacuations, with the army reinforcing closed military zones. The conflict stems from stalled talks over SDF incorporation into Syrian state institutions, resulting in renewed violence. The PKK’s involvement and international implications further complicate the situation, with efforts to mediate a ceasefire ongoing.
