Syria threatens to strike Aleppo's Kurdish district as fighters refuse to evacuate
Syria's army on Friday threatened to renew strikes on a Kurdish district of Aleppo after fighters from the minority refused to leave. Early on Friday, Syrian authorities announced a truce with forces linked to the US-backed, Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). But Kurdish fighters rejected any "surrender" and said they would stay and defend their districts.
