Clashes have erupted in northeast Syria just one day after a ceasefire agreement was announced between the Syrian government and the main Kurdish-led force. The breakdown in negotiations has led to renewed fighting around prisons holding thousands of Islamic State members, resulting in casualties and a mass escape of detainees from Shaddadi Prison. Both sides have traded accusations over the prison break, with security forces working to recapture fugitives amid heightened tensions. International actors, including the United States, have intervened to mediate, while calls for a decisive response from the global community grow louder as the situation remains volatile.
