Confirmed
In Short: Clashes between Syria’s security authorities and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces have resulted in 530 deaths, including 76 civilians, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Clashes between Syria’s security authorities and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have killed 530 people, including 76 civilians, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported on Sunday.
The monitor documented 397 deaths across northeastern Syria, including 110 members of government forces, 259 SDF and Asayish personnel, and 28 civilians who died in artillery and air strikes or in reported field executions.
More than 200 people remain missing, with their whereabouts still unknown, the observatory noted.
Background: In the decades since 50 countries signed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, significant advancements have been made in various fields, including medicine, technology, and social and political expression, though such progress has not always translated to improved human rights conditions in conflict zones like Syria.
