ANHA correspondent in Aleppo reported today that the Interim Government forces sealed off all entrances and exits to Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyah.

This development follows several days of earth berm removals and road closures leading to the neighborhoods, coinciding with drone attacks and infiltration attempts carried out by armed factions affiliated with the Interim Government.

This move constitutes a blatant violation of the April 1 Agreement, signed between the Neighborhood Councils and the Interim Government, which stipulates freedom of movement for residents traveling to and from Aleppo.
