Results of ceasefire monitoring
In the course of last 24 hours, 7 ceasefire violations have been registered (Aleppo - 4, Idlib - 2, Latakia - 1).
Sheikh Maqsood inhabited area (Aleppo) has suffered an artillery attack.
Five civilians have been injured by a mortar attack in Fua and Kafr Khaya (Idlib province).
Comment: The Syrian Army is continuing their offensive elsewhere in Idlib, fast approaching Al-Shughour, and they have begun a new offensive against Daesh's stronghold in Palmyra, Homs. Meanwhile, in Deir Ezzor, disaffected Daesh-bags are apparently defecting, resulting in Daesh-on-Daesh fighting. 80 militants reportedly fled the battlefield, who were then targeted by their field commanders. This comes as the SAA contnues their own offensive on Daesh in Deir Ezzor.
Russian Aerospace Forces and Syrian Air Forces did not make strikes on armed formations, which follow ceasefire regime and informed the Russian or American Centres for reconciliation about their location.
Humanitarian aid to the population of Syria
The Russian Centre for reconciliation of opposing sides continues providing humanitarian aid to the Syrian population. Citizens of al-Tall (Damascus province) have received 4.2 tons of humanitarian aid, most of which contained food products.
Additional information
Infrastructure of towns and villages, which joined the ceasefire regime, is being restored.
In Sneisel (Homs province), water supply system has been recovered. Electrical energy supply system is being fixed up.
Near Daraya (Damascus province), mine-clearing operations and elimination of explosive devices are being held in order to provide humanitarian events and security of civilians.
Comment: The actual 'rebel-held' areas complying with the ceasefire are relatively small. The war continues on the vast territories held by Daesh, al-Qaeda, and other terrorist groups. U.S. CENTCOM say they have observed 'infrequent' assistance provided to the Kurdish YPG in the north of Syria by Russian forces. (Kurds make up 80% of the U.S.-supported Syrian Democratic Forces. In other words, they're in the unique position of having both U.S. and Russian support.) The YPG is surrounded on most fronts by Daesh, and their forces were essential in closing and holding the northern Aleppo pocket/corridor. Turkey recently accused the SDF of shelling Turkish territory, which the Kurds denied.
