DUBAI (Reuters) -A Syrian government soldier was killed in clashes with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces in the northern governorate of Aleppo on Tuesday, Syria's state news agency SANA said, citing the Defence Ministry.

In March the SDF agreed with Syria's Islamist-led government to join state institutions as part of efforts to reunite a country fractured by 14 years of civil war. The deal aimed to pave the way for the SDF, which holds a quarter of Syria, and regional Kurdish governing bodies to reintegrate with Damascus.
