Syrian Army Strikes Militant Depot in Aleppo After Civilian Attacks

The Syrian military says it has destroyed a weapons storage depot belonging to the YPG/SDF militant group in Aleppo. A Defense Ministry official stated the operation was a direct response to the group's continued attacks on civilians in the area. Those earlier attacks reportedly caused an unspecified number of deaths and injuries. The YPG/SDF is a Kurdish-led force. Syria designates it as a terrorist organization, though it was a key ally for the United States in the fight against ISIS. The strike highlights the ongoing instability in northern Syria, where multiple forces operate.
