Fierce fighting has reignited in Aleppo, Syria, as clashes between government forces and Kurdish fighters persist for a second consecutive day, leaving civilians caught in the crossfire. The renewed violence has sparked a mass exodus from the city, with thousands fleeing to safety amid the escalating conflict.

The conflict, described as growing deadlier, traces back to an exchange of shellings on Tuesday, which resulted in the deaths of several individuals, including women and a child. As Wednesday unfolded, hostilities continued to intensify, leading to additional casualties and scores injured, according to local reports.

In response, Syrian authorities have established humanitarian corridors, facilitating the mass evacuation of civilians from embattled neighborhoods. The clashes highlight ongoing tensions between Kurdish forces and the Syrian government, as both sides accuse each other of impeding peace efforts.
