Clashes between Syrian regime forces and Rojava Asayish (public security) continue since the former one's attack on the city of Qamishlo the day before.

Fighting continues on the roads leading to the Wehdê Intersection, Kesb Street and Security Junction.

Dîfa Wetenî paramilitary forces allied to the Regime arrested 2 YPG fighters and took them to Damascus on April 19. The following day, 2 Qamishlo Asayish members were killed as a result of the attacks to which asayish forces returned fire. As clashes between two sides spread to areas held by the regime, local units of the YPG (People's Defense Units) also got involved the fighting.

30 members of regime forces were killed during the clashes of 20-21 April when YPG / YPJ and Asayish forces took control of the regime-held Elaye (Allya) prison to the east of the Qamishlo city.

Dozens of regime soldiers were taken prisoner in the wake of violent clashes ongoing since the day before.
