MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Moreover, mortars and AT grenade launchers have been used against a number of settlements in the provinces of Daraa, Hama and Damacus, according to the ministry.
"Groupings of Jabhat al-Nusra [Jabhat Fatah al Sham] and ISIS [Daesh] international terrorist organizations do not stop making attempts to break the ceasefire regime," the ministry said in a daily bulletin posted on its website.
"Within last 24 hours, in the Aleppo city terrorists have fired MLRS, AT missile complexes and mortars against Ramusi, Khai-al-Ansari 1070 quarters, the military school of armament and the Kastello trade centre."
Syria has been mired in civil war since 2011, with government forces loyal to President Bashar Assad fighting numerous opposition factions and extremist groups. On February 27, a US-Russia brokered ceasefire came into force in Syria. Terrorist groups such as Daesh, as well as Jabhat Fatah al Sham (previously known as the Nusra Front), both outlawed in Russia and a range of other states, are not part of the deal.
