Fierce fighting has erupted in Syria’s Mediterranean port cities of Latakia and Tartous, long considered bastions of the Assad regime. Syrian security forces have closed all roads leading to the cities as clashes intensify.
Al Jazeera’s Omar Al Hajj reports from Tartous on the latest developments, while Al Jazeera’s Resul Sedar follows the unfolding situation from Damascus. Rob Geist Pinfold, a Lecturer in International Security at King’s College London, joins Al Jazeera’s live from Bologna, Italy, to provide analysis on the conflict and its broader implications.
