Qamishli, Syria, Jan 17, 2026 (AFP) — The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces on Saturday accused Damascus of betrayal over a withdrawal deal and reported fighting between the two sides in the country's north.

"Heavy clashes continue between our forces and Damascus factions who violated the recent agreements and betrayed our forces during the implementation of the withdrawal provisions," SDF said in a statement, adding that parts of Raqa province had been "subjected to artillery shelling and rocket fire".
