Syrian authorities imposed a curfew in Azaz in the northern Aleppo countryside early Sunday after armed clashes expanded in the city. A related report said the fighting involved General Security forces aligned with Ahmad al-Sharaa and commanders from Turkish-backed factions that had joined Syria's new army. Additional armed reinforcements were arriving when the curfew was announced. The initial reports did not state the curfew hours, identify the commanders or units involved, explain what triggered the confrontation, or report casualties or damage. No first-party Syrian statement was available when the item was published.
