Violent clashes involving heavy machine guns erupted Friday between National Guard members on one side and government forces and their allied forces on the other, along the Rima Hazem town–Al-Naql area axis northwest of Sweida city, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR). 

The clashes coincided with a government-affiliated explosive-laden drone targeting the vicinity of a National Guard military position in the Al-Naql area. There were reports that the drone was launched from positions held by government and allied forces in the village of Al-Mansoura, northwest of the city.

The SOHR did not report any casualties among either side.
