Russia says Syrian regime respecting truce, 23 rebel violations

Russia on Tuesday says Syrian regime forces were fully respecting a ceasefire but rebel fighters had violated it some 23 times.

“Syrian government troops have completely stopped firing, with the exception of areas where Islamic State and Jabhat Al-Nusra fighters are active,” senior Russian military officer Viktor Poznikhir says in a televised briefing, adding that “moderate opposition” forces had fired 23 times at residential areas and regime positions.
