A vehicle carrying journalists from Ihlas News Agency came under sniper fire while reporting near a checkpoint during civilian evacuations in Aleppo, Syria. The incident occurred amid ongoing clashes between the Syrian army and the Syrian Democratic Forces in the Eşrefiye and Şeyh Maksut neighborhoods. The broadcast vehicle was hit, but the three journalists were not injured. Syrian authorities said a humanitarian corridor remains open as thousands of civilians continue to evacuate ahead of a planned military operation.
