The Syrian army liberated Tal Ahmar, Zervektouk and Al Jasmiya villages along the road to Qanat al-Wasla toward the Shuyoukh area east of Aleppo and began clearing an SDF enclave in Al-Abr village between 3:16 PM and 3:45 PM UTC on January 25, 2026, according to syrianFactCheck on X. Large crowds from the Al-Majadma, Al-Aoun, Tay and Al-Naim tribes clashed with Kurdish PKK militias in several areas south of Shuyoukh during the same period, killing four Kurdish militia members and injuring others near Al-Jasmiya, as reported by DeirEzzore on X in conjunction with Syrian army advances to clear snipers and lift sieges. SDF/YPG forces fired toward the south of Jarablus while clashes continued in Tel Abir and Kasimiye, where tribal forces including the Aun tribe captured Kasimiye, according to BarracudaVol1 on X just after 3:16 PM UTC. These developments build on the Syrian army's earlier entry into Tal Ahmar after breaking an SDF sniper siege between 2:46 PM and 3:15 PM UTC, as previously reported by syrianFactCheck and BarracudaVol1 on X.
