The Syrian army is moving to take control of areas previously held by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the governorate of Aleppo.
The forces on Saturday entered Deir Hafer, located some 50km (30 miles) east of the city of Aleppo, after the SDF announced it would start withdrawing from their strongholds in the city in the early hours of the day.
