A drone has struck a governorate building in the Syrian city of Aleppo, marking a sharp escalation in fighting between Syria’s army and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

The drone, believed to be launched by Kurdish-led SDF on Saturday, hit the building as several high-ranking officials, including Aleppo’s governor and two Syrian government ministers, were holding a news conference inside.
