Ceasefire violations continued in Sweida on Saturday, with Syrian government forces and allied groups targeting a civilian vehicle with sniper fire from a position near the civilian prison in Sweida city, according to ANHA's correspondent.

A minibus carrying female agricultural workers was also fired upon at close range on the road to the village of al-Aslahah in the western Sweida countryside, but no casualties were reported.

These developments come amid ongoing tensions in the region that have persisted for weeks, with attempts underway to contain the escalation between the various factions present in Sweida. Meanwhile, residents are expressing growing fears that the targeting will expand to include civilians and their daily commutes.
