Syrian army says it controls Aleppo district, Kurdish forces deny claim
The Syrian army on Saturday said it completed a "security sweep" of a Kurdish neighbourhood in Aleppo, but Kurdish forces denied losing control of the Sheikh Maqsud district. Government forces resumed a military operation in the neighbourhood overnight after a ceasefire between the army and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) collapsed.
