Aleppo, Syria, Jan 10, 2026 (AFP) — Kurdish forces on Saturday denied the government's claim that it was halting military operations in Aleppo's Sheikh Maqsud neighbourhood, where the two sides have clashed for days.
In a statement, Kurdish forces called Damascus' announcement "a blatant attempt to mislead public opinion", saying their fighters were still repelling a "fierce attack".
