Syrian Kurdish forces said they clashed with regime fighters in the divided northeastern city of Qamishli on Saturday, leading to the deaths of 18 combatants.

The rare flare-up in the Kurdish-majority city near the Turkish border saw 11 regime fighters and seven Kurds killed, the Kurdish security forces said.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor, reported the same death toll.
