"As a result of mortar shelling of the Minyan area of ​​Aleppo city, two civilians were killed and two more people were injured", Borenkov said.

He also said that the Russian military police continued to patrol the routes in the provinces of Aleppo, Hasakah and Raqqa.

Following talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a Russian-Turkish memorandum, which stipulates conditions for the peaceful withdrawal of Kurdish militants in Syria to a distance of 30 kilometres (18.6 miles) from the border with Turkey, was signed on 22 October in Russia's Sochi.
