Relative quiet in Aleppo, but sporadic fighting continues

The government says that its forces are now at the centre of Sheikh Maqsoud and that the majority of SDF fighters have laid down their arms. It says those fighters have been taken on buses to be transported to the city of Tabqa in Raqqa province, where the SDF is in control.

However, the government says there are still some SDF factions that are fighting back and refusing to lay down their arms and surrender.
