The Syrian Defence Ministry reported that an attack by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the northern city of Manbij resulted in injuries to four army personnel and three civilians. The ministry described the SDF's actions as "irresponsible and for unknown reasons." The Syrian army claimed to have repelled a penetration attempt by SDF forces at one of its positions in the Manbij countryside. Meanwhile, the SDF denied launching an offensive in the area, instead accusing undisciplined factions of targeting its positions along the contact line. Local Arabic media also reported allegations that children have been detained for recruitment in SDF training camps, with families denied information about their whereabouts. Both the Syrian government and the Kurdish-led SDF have exchanged blame over the incident, reflecting ongoing tensions in northern Syria.
