The Russian Defence Ministry on Tuesday said the Russian party to the Russian-Turkish Commission on the Syrian ceasefire has recorded eight ceasefire violations over the past 24 hours, while Turkey has registered no truce breaches.
“Over the last 24 hours, the Russian party of the Russia-Turkey Commission on violations of the Joint Agreement has registered eight cases of firing in the provinces of Aleppo (1), Latakia (4) and Hama (3).
“The Turkish side has registered no cases of ceasefire violation,’’ the ministry said in its daily bulletin.
The Russian Centre for Syrian Reconciliation has carried out one humanitarian mission over the past 24 hours, delivering 4.3 tonnes of humanitarian cargo to a settlement in the province of Daraa.
“Russian medics also provided assistance to nine civilians.
“The number of areas, which signed reconciliation agreements, has remained the same and amounts to 2,518.
“The number of armed formations claiming that they observe the ceasefire regime has not changed either, standing at 234,’’ the ministry added.
Russia, alongside Iran and Turkey, is a guarantor of the ceasefire regime in Syria.
Moscow has also been assisting Damascus both through supporting the struggle against terrorist groups and providing humanitarian aid to the residents of the crisis-torn country.
