Fire during prison riot kills seven inmates

A fire broke out at the Ain al-Arab (Kobani) city prison in the eastern countryside of Aleppo, northern Syria, after prisoners set fires during a riot inside the jail. The incident resulted in the death of seven prisoners and injuries to dozens of others from burns and suffocation, with the flames spreading to the dormitories. This event occurs amid the ongoing management of the prison by personnel from the dissolved "Qasad" organization, which has not yet been transferred to the Syrian Ministry of Interior. Simultaneously, the city experienced security unrest, including stone-throwing at security forces, gunfire, and the setting of fire to security facilities, leading to injuries among some security personnel. The authorities intervened to control the situation, and searches for suspects are still underway. The authorities called for calm and warned against any attempts to destabilize the security and stability of the area, emphasizing that any attack on property or security personnel will be met with legal action.
