The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) deployed dozens of armored vehicles and fighters around al-Aswad Stadium in central Raqqa, imposing heightened security measures, local sources told Shafaq News on Sunday.

The deployment included snipers positioned on rooftops, road closures leading to the stadium, and a tight security cordon around the area to counter potential threats.

The sources added that the move is part of a series of operations the SDF has recently carried out in Raqqa to pursue wanted individuals and strengthen control over the city.
