War planes have attacked six Syrian towns in the western part of Aleppo province, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, as the fragile ceasefire in the region entered its second day. | |
A day after the cessation of hostiles started the warplanes, believed to be either Russian or Syrian, bombed the villages of Daret Azzeh and Qobtan al-Jabal. According to the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights the identity of the jets was not clear. Local Coordination Committees said the warplanes were Russian. | |
The cessation of hostilities, however, appears to be broadly intact. | |
Syria’s main opposition grouping recorded over a dozen violations by government troops and allies on the first day of the landmark truce – brokered following negotiations by world powers – a spokesman told news agency AFP. | |
"There were 15 violations by the regime forces on day one of the ceasefire, including two attacks by (Lebanese militant group) Hezbollah in Zabadani" west of Damascus, said Salem al-Meslet, spokesman for the High Negotiations Committee. | |
