Arab Sea - Agencies: The Syrian Ministry of Defense announced today, Thursday, that two Syrian army soldiers were killed during an armed clash with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on the outskirts of the city of Raqqa on Wednesday evening, according to "Reuters." According to the official statement, the clash occurred "yesterday evening" in the Raqqa countryside, without disclosing further details about the exact location of the clash or the number of injured. The Syrian Ministry of Defense held the SDF directly responsible for the deaths and considered the incident a violation of previous agreements. For its part, the SDF denied involvement in the clash and described the information as "incorrect." The SDF did not announce any casualties or military operations in the area mentioned by the Ministry of Defense. Analysts pointed out that the incident may be an indication of a possible wider escalation between Damascus and the SDF, especially if it is accompanied by attempts to impose control or rearrange military deployment in eastern Syria. Some warned that the continuation of these clashes could undermine previous agreements and open the way for increased activity of extremist groups or a security vacuum in the disputed areas.
