Tom Barrack, U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Turkiye and Special Envoy for Syria, on Friday welcomed the temporary ceasefire achieved last night in Aleppo.

Axar.az informs "The United States warmly welcomes the temporary ceasefire achieved last night in Aleppo’s Ashrafiyeh and Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhoods and extends profound gratitude to all parties—the Syrian government, the Syrian Democratic Forces, local authorities, and community leaders—for the restraint and goodwill that made this vital pause possible," he wrote on X.

"We are working intensively to extend this ceasefire and spirit of understanding beyond this morning’s 9 o’clock deadline," he added.

Syria’s defence ministry announced a ceasefire in Aleppo on Friday after days of deadly clashes between government forces and Kurdish fighters that killed at least 21 people and forced thousands of civilians to flee.
