Thousands of #protesters flooded streets in the cities of #Latakia & #Tartus to demand govt forces stand down & withdraw from the countryside, the first wide-scale #demonstrations against the new authorities….

By Fri morning, the govt had deployed more security personnel to the coast to bolster their forces there as they tried to regain authority over a handful of towns & villages where armed gunmen had effectively seized control overnight.

At least 70 people were killed & dozens wounded in overnight clashes between the new authorities in #Syria & gunmen loyal to the ousted #dictator #BasharalAssad …in the bloodiest skirmishes since the collapse of the #Assad govt.

The fighting unfolded in #Latakia & #Tartus Provinces, longtime strongholds for Assad…. It came hours after the killing of 16 security personnel by Assad loyalists in the Latakia countryside on Thurs afternoon….

Over the weekend, the Syrian port also saw the arrival of the landing ships A. Otrakovsky, Ivan Gren, & the tanker Kola, likely carrying a “sensitive” cargo that couldn’t be sent via the Black Sea due to the threat of Ukrainian drones. @syria
