flag Syria imposes night curfew in Latakia after protests over mosque bombing kill four.

flag On December 31, 2025, Syria enforced a night curfew from 5 p.m. to 6 a.m. in Latakia, a coastal city and Alawite stronghold, in response to violent protests and attacks that resulted in at least four fatalities and roughly a dozen injuries. flag A bombing at an Alawite mosque in Homs that claimed eight lives set off the unrest, which drew thousands of people calling for federalism and the release of Alawites who were being held. flag During earlier protests, security forces used live fire, stepped up their presence, and detained 21 people connected to the former Assad regime. flag Following Bashar al-Assad's overthrow and the establishment of a Sunni-led transitional government, the curfew seeks to reestablish order amid ongoing sectarian tensions.
