Regional Kurdish security forces will keep territory taken from pro-Syrian government forces during a three-day outbreak of violence in northeastern Syria, a truce document announced on April 24 showed, with both sides to release prisoners taken during the clashes. 

Rare violence erupted on April 21 between Kurdish groups and Syrian government forces in northeast Syria in which several people were killed, a monitoring group said. 

Kurdish groups control most of Qamishli city, near the Turkish border, but government forces still hold the airport and a few areas of the centre. 

A suicide bomber set off a truck bomb outside offices of a Kurdish security agency in northeastern Syria on Aug. 19, killing at least 10 people, a Kurdish official and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
