Syrian gov't forces clash with Kurdish SDF in Aleppo

Damascus, Oct. 7 (UNI) One Syrian security personnel was killed Monday when fighting erupted in two Kurdish-held neighborhoods of Aleppo, raising tensions between Syria's transitional authorities and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
The Britain-based war monitor Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said heavy and medium weapons were used as pro-government forces targeted the Sheikh Maqsoud district amid reports of an attempted incursion.
The Syrian defence authorities' media office said in a statement Monday night that army movements in northern and northeastern Syria were part of a planned redeployment following repeated SDF attacks on civilians, army, and security forces. The statement said the moves aimed to "secure strategic points" and insisted that the government remains committed to the March 10 agreement with the SDF, denying any intent to launch a wider offensive.
