Syria's army took control of swathes of northern Syria and threatened to bomb parts of Raqa province on Saturday after Kurdish forces pulled back from territory they had held for over a decade.
The government appeared to be seeking to extend its grip on parts of the country under Kurdish control a day after President Ahmed al-Sharaa issued a decree declaring Kurdish a "national language" and granting the minority official recognition.
The Kurds have said the move fell short of their aspirations.
