A Syrian defense ministry source told state news agency SANA thatgovernment forces repelled an attack by “remnants of the former regime” on thenaval command headquarters in Latakia, restoring stability to the area.
The clashes quickly escalated as pro-government forces stormed thevillages of Sheer, Mukhtariyeh, and Haffah, killing 69 men but sparing women,SOHR reported. Another 60 people, including women and children, were killed inthe town of Baniyas, it added.
Transitional President Ahmad al-Sharaa urged former regime fighters tosurrender their weapons while cautioning pro-government forces againsttargeting civilians or mistreating detainees.
Damascus has since deployed reinforcements to Latakia, Tartus, andAlawite-majority villages that were longtime strongholds of Assad’s supportbase. A curfew remains in effect in Latakia and other coastal areas.
As of Friday, SOHR said Jableh and Baniyas remained under the control ofAl-Assad loyalists, along with surrounding Alawite villages and Assad’shometown of Qardaha in the mountains overlooking Latakia.
Russia’s foreign ministry reaffirmed its commitment to Syria’s“sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity.”
