Syrian Army Says It Destroyed SDF Weapons Depot in Sheikh Maqsoud
Syria’s Ministry of Defence says the Syrian army has destroyed a weapons depot belonging to the Syrian Democratic Forces in the Sheikh Maqsoud district of Aleppo.
The ministry rejected claims by the SDF that government forces were preparing to attack a hospital in the area, stating that the operation targeted a military facility only.
According to a statement carried by the state news agency SANA, the weapons depot was fully destroyed. The defence ministry added that the Syrian army has repeatedly opened humanitarian corridors for civilians and released maps identifying military targets in advance.
Officials said these measures are intended to protect civilians and reduce harm to non-combatants, stressing that the army’s actions are focused on security objectives rather than civilian areas.
