Syria began transferring Kurdish fighters from Aleppo to northeast, state media says

Syrian authorities have begun transferring Kurdish fighters from Aleppo’s Kurdish-majority Sheikh Maqsud neighborhood to the country’s northeast, state television reports, after days of deadly clashes.

“Fighters from the Syrian Democratic Forces who announced their surrender at the Yassin Hospital were transported by bus to the city of Tabaqa under the supervision of the interior ministry,” state television reports, referring to the Kurdish-led force.

An AFP correspondent saw at least four buses carrying fighters leaving Sheikh Maqsud, accompanied by security forces.
