Sanamayn: Four Syrian security personnel, two civilians, and nine armed militants have died in ongoing clashes in Sanamayn city, southern Syria, as announced by the Daraa Governorate. The hostilities, which began on Tuesday evening, have intensified security tensions in the region.

According to Anadolu Agency, the governorate issued a statement detailing the efforts of security forces who set up multiple checkpoints and conducted raids against militants, including some linked to the ISIS (Daesh) terrorist group. The clashes continued for several hours, resulting in the arrest of 60 suspects who have been handed over to relevant interrogation units.

The Syrian security forces have previously executed operations across various provinces targeting former regime affiliates who resisted disarmament following the fall of the Baath regime. Bashar Assad, who led Syria for nearly 25 years, fled to Russia on December 8, marking the end of the Baath Party's rule, which had lasted since 1963.
