Syria extends ceasefire with Kurdish forces by 15 days

A four-day ceasefire between the Syrian government and Kurdish forces, which expired on Saturday night, has been extended by 15 days, both sides said, offering a respite amid mounting tensions.
Government troops have seized swathes of northern and eastern territory in the last two weeks from the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces in a rapid turn of events that has consolidated President Ahmed al-Sharaa’s rule.
