Syria's government has accused Kurdish-led forces of breaking a ceasefire after a drone strike allegedly killed seven Syrian soldiers in the northeast. The Syrian army described the incident as a dangerous escalation, while the Kurdish-led group denied responsibility, claiming the explosion happened as soldiers handled explosives and accusing the army of violating the truce elsewhere. The dispute comes after the government and Kurdish-led forces reportedly reached a tentative four-day ceasefire agreement, with the government warning of further assaults if no deal is finalized. The latest tensions threaten the fragile truce and cast uncertainty over the future of Kurdish autonomy in the region, as well as broader implications for Syria's relations with neighboring countries and the fate of detained militants.
