Violence erupted in Syria at two major locations, with government forces clashing with Kurdish forces in the north and Druze armed groups in the south, particularly in Sweida. The interim government, led by Ahmad al-Sharaa, struggles to maintain authority after the recent ouster of former President Bashar Assad. The situation is complicated by attempts to uphold a ceasefire in Sweida and reintegrate Kurdish-held northeastern areas. Conflicts resulted in casualties on both sides, with further ramifications for the fragile political landscape in Syria.
Outbreaks of violence in Syria have occurred at several flashpoints, straining a fragile ceasefire and raising questions about the transitional government's authority across the country.
In northern Syria, government-affiliated fighters have confronted Kurdish-led forces while southern clashes have erupted between government forces and Druze armed groups.
The interim authorities are attempting to maintain a ceasefire in Sweida province while working to implement an agreement with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces.
Suspicion surrounds interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa's rule following the ousting of Bashar Assad, particularly concerning his cooperation with militant-affiliated fighters.
