Russia and the United States reached an agreement on the ceasefire in Syria on February 22. The ceasefire took effect at midnight on Saturday, Damascus time (22:00 GMT on Friday).
The UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution endorsing the Russia-US agreement on the cessation of hostilities in Syria on Friday, shortly before the ceasefire came into force.
The cessation of hostilities does not apply to terrorist groups operating in Syria, such as Islamic State (IS, also known as Daesh) and Jabhat al-Nusra (Nusra Front).
No group claimed responsibility for the latest attack in Salamiyah.
