The Syrian Arab Army clashed with Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Al-Bukamal city after SDF fighters fired two RPG shells at the Corniche area during the 10:16-11:15 p.m. UTC window on Jan. 11, Naher Media reported. In Suwayda, Fajr al-Tahrir forces announced they targeted points held by separatist gangs affiliated with al-Hijri from the Erika axis, damaging one point, according to an X post by Wolveri07681751. Very violent clashes erupted after al-Hijri gangs violated a truce, with gunfire causing a power transformer to explode and go out of service, as reported by YamanAboTurki on X. These Suwayda clashes follow Syrian Arab Army and Internal Security Forces repelling an attack by Hikmat al-Hijri militias in the western countryside of As-Suwayda during the prior 9:45-10:15 p.m. UTC window, per an X post by omar_alharir. The Al-Bukamal incident comes amid ongoing tensions with SDF militias, including Syrian Arab Army responses at Tishreen Dam east of Aleppo and Ain al-Isa in Raqqa earlier on Jan. 11, as reported by ivarmm.
