The Syrian Ministry of Defense announced a ceasefire in the Sheikh Maqsoud, Ashrafiyeh, and Beni Zeid neighborhoods of Aleppo, effective from 3:00 a.m. The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) were ordered to withdraw from the areas by 9:00 a.m., with permission to carry only light personal weapons. Syrian authorities said the move aimed to protect civilians and reduce tensions in residential areas. The army said it would facilitate the safe passage of armed elements toward northeastern Syria.
