The Syrian government has taken control of al-Aqtan prison in Raqqa, previously held by Kurdish-led SDF forces, following their withdrawal under a ceasefire agreement. This takeover is part of a broader ceasefire that allowed over 1,000 SDF personnel to safely exit the city. Conditions within the prison are being assessed as Syrian forces quickly filled the security vacuum. The situation, previously chaotic, has stabilized, with reports of US planes evacuating ISIS detainees from the region.
