The besieged districts of Sheikh Maqsoud, Ashrafieh, and Bani Zaid are, at this time, being subjected to random shelling by mercenary groups affiliated with the interim government, which receive their directives from the Turkish occupying state, including the Amshat, Hamzat, Sultan Murad Division, and the Nour al-Din al-Zenki Movement.

For the third consecutive day, these neighborhoods have been exposed to intense shelling, which has so far resulted in the injury of 56 civilians and the martyrdom of seven others.

Meanwhile, the interim government in Syria has imposed a suffocating siege on these areas since 25 September 2025, preventing the entry of essential supplies, emergency and medical aid, and flour.
