The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported today that clashes erupted between factions of the Transitional Government on one side and National Guard forces on the other in the villages of al-Majdal and al-Mazra‘a in the western countryside of Swedia. During the clashes, Transitional Government factions fired mortar shells toward residential neighborhoods and used heavy machine-gun fire.

National Guard factions reportedly responded to these weapons. As of now, there is no information about human casualties.

This comes amid continued violations of the ceasefire agreement by factions of the Transitional Government, while fear and panic prevail among civilians due to the escalation of clashes across various axes surrounding Swedia.
