ISTANBUL (AA) – The PKK/YPG terrorist group, operating under the name SDF, renewed shelling of residential neighborhoods in Aleppo in northern Syria for the second day on Wednesday morning, after at least five people were killed in attacks a day earlier, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported.

SANA said SDF terrorists shelled the al-Suryan neighborhood in northern Aleppo.

According to the outlet, Syrian army forces responded to the sources of fire in the vicinity of the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood, from where the SDF fired shells toward the al-Suryan neighborhood.

The agency said Syrian army forces also engaged in clashes with the terrorist group along the Castello and al-Sheihan axes in the province.

No information was yet available about casualties.

At least five people were killed and 16 others injured in a series of attacks by SDF terrorists in Aleppo on Tuesday.

On March 10, the Syrian presidency announced the signing of an agreement for the SDF’s integration into state institutions, reaffirming the country's territorial unity and rejecting any attempts at division.

Syrian authorities say that in the months since, the SDF has not shown any efforts to meet the terms of the agreement.
