Thousands of people have left their homes in the Syrian city of Aleppo as a curfew is set to take effect. The move comes amid ongoing shelling and gun battles between government forces and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces.

According to reports, residents are fleeing the area ahead of the curfew, which is expected to begin soon. The situation on the ground remains volatile, with fighting continuing in various parts of the city.

The conflict in Aleppo has been ongoing for several years, with multiple factions vying for control. The Syrian army and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces have clashed repeatedly, resulting in significant damage and loss of life.
