Khaberni - The official Syrian news agency "SANA" announced, at dawn on Tuesday, the reaching of a ceasefire agreement in the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyeh districts in the city of Aleppo.
Violent clashes with heavy weapons erupted on Monday between the Syrian Army and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) around the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyeh districts in Aleppo, resulting in casualties among security forces and civilians.
