Syrian military officials report that two soldiers were killed in an attack by Kurdish forces near the town of Maskana, east of Aleppo. The incident occurred as the army was deploying to the area following an agreement for Kurdish fighters to withdraw. The Syrian Democratic Forces, however, claim that government troops entered the area prematurely, before their withdrawal was complete, leading to clashes. Both sides are accusing each other of violating the terms of the agreement, raising tensions in the region.
