Syrian government forces uncovered an underground ammunition depot in Aleppo's Sheikh Maqsoud district stockpiled by SDF-affiliated fighters with tons of ammunition, including anti-tank mines, mortar shells, and Iranian-made rockets, during the 3:15-4:15 p.m. UTC window on Jan. 11, according to X posts by QalaatAlMudiq. Pictures shared by X user ibrahim_ghassan show the entrance to a tunnel dug by SDF under Al-Hassan Mosque used to store weapons and ammunition targeting city neighborhoods. QalaatAlMudiq reported the depot seizure included an intruder, while ibrahim_ghassan posted images confirming the tunnel's military use under the mosque over the past hour. These findings build on earlier seizures of SDF ammunition in the same district reported by QalaatAlMudiq during the prior 2:15-3:15 p.m. window. Interior Ministry teams continued demining operations in Sheikh Maqsoud, neutralizing booby-traps and IEDs in civilian areas, as stated by QalaatAlMudiq in the previous hour. A Kurdish girl kidnapped by PKK militia was reunited with her father after area clearance, per X user AbdussamedDgl1 during that period. These developments follow Syrian Arab Army strikes on SDF sites in Sheikh Maqsoud earlier on Jan. 11, including military site No. 12 claimed by SDF as a hospital but containing weapons, according to prior X posts by @ivarmm, @syrianFactCheck, and @omar_alharir.
