"The cessation of hostilities in Syria has been respected in most of the Syrian provinces. However, a total of nine violations of the ceasefire regime have been registered, including four — in the Latakia province and five — in the Damascus province," the ministry said in a daily bulletin posted on its website.
The militants of Ahrar ash-Sham shelled government forces from mortars and multiple launch rocket systems in the settlements of Sandran, al-Fahhara, Rasha and Shmaisa.
"In the Damascus province, units of Jaysh al-Islam opposition grouping performed mortar shelling against Jaubar, al-Maliha, Marj Sultan, Arbil and Adra," the bulletin revealed.
The number of ceasefire application forms signed with leaders of armed groupings has reached 51, it added.
The Russia-US brokered ceasefire regime in Syria came into force on February 27.
