Syrian army clashes with Kurdish fighters in Aleppo, then declares operation over

The Syrian army launched a military operation against Kurdish fighters in Aleppo, specifically in the Sheikh Maqsoud (also called Sheikh Maksoud) district. The fighting involved airstrikes and ground clashes, reportedly displacing tens of thousands of people.

The army later announced it had completed its 'sweep' of the district and taken control, declaring an end to military operations. Following the clashes, a period of relative calm was reported as Kurdish fighters began to disarm, and some were transferred out of the city.
