The results of monitoring compliance with the cessation of hostilities
During the day 15 recorded violations of the cessation of hostilities. The greatest number of violations noted in Damascus, in the provinces of Aleppo, Homs, Latakia.
So, during the day five times were subjected to shelling from mortars and small weapons positions of government troops, Kurdish militia and residential areas in the northwest of Aleppo.
In the city of Damascus, terrorist groups controlled by Jibgat en Nusra, from 5.00 to 5.30, opened mortar fire on Al-Maj-Azra, Mukhim Al-Wafdain and central prison areas three times. As a result of the attacks, one civilian died and three were injured of varying severity.
In the area of Marj Al Sultan (Damascus), a group of militants, after mortar shelling, attempted to break through the positions of the Syrian army.
In the province of Latakia, militants of the Jibgat al-Nusra formations, which control the settlements of Qban, Knedd, Bdam and Narfus, fired mortars and small arms at government positions four times, provoking them to retaliate. Units of the Syrian army showed restraint and did not open the return fire.
In the province of Homs, militants twice attempted to attack positions of government troops and militia in the area of the village of Narb-Nafs.
The increase in the number of violations recorded testifies to the attempts of the leaders of the ISIL and Jibgat al-Nusra formations to thwart the reconciliation process by firing at positions of government troops and residential areas from positions located in areas controlled by the moderate opposition.
The aerospace forces of Russia did not strike the areas controlled by the “moderate” opposition detachments that had joined the cessation of hostilities and fulfilled its conditions.
