Fresh clashes break out in Syria as the interim government struggles to ease tensions

Tavsif:

Violence flared in Syria overnight into Sunday at two key flashpoints, straining a fragile ceasefire. In the north, government‑aligned forces clashed with Kurdish‑led troops, while in the south, fighting broke out between government forces and Druze militias in Sweida province. The unrest challenges interim President Ahmad al‑Sharaa’s efforts to unify the country following his ousting of Bashar Assad in December, NPR has reported. At least two people were killed and several injured in the southern clashes, which occurred despite ongoing attempts to reintegrate Kurdish‑held areas and stabilize restive regions.
