MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Jabhat al-Nusra* has shelled Syria's Idlib de-escalation zone five times in the past day, Rear Adm. Oleg Zhuravlyov, the deputy head of the Russian Defense Ministry's Center for Reconciliation of Opposing Sides in Syria, said on Saturday.
"Over the past 24 hours, five shelling attacks were recorded in the Idlib de-escalation zone from the positions of the Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist group. In the province of Aleppo - four attacks, in the province of Latakia - one attack," Zhuravlyov said.
He added that a Syrian soldier had been wounded in Latakia by sniper fire at Syrian government troops near the village of Akch-Baer.
The Russian Defense Ministry's Center for Reconciliation of Opposing Sides and Control over the Movement of Refugees in the Syrian Arab Republic was established in February 2016.
