MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 18th September, 2019) The Russian side of the Russian-Turkish commission monitoring the implementation of the Syrian truce has registered 45 ceasefire violations in the country over the past 24 hours, while the Turkish side has recorded 44 truce breaches, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Wednesday.

"[Over the past 24 hours], the Russian side of the Russian-Turkish commission reviewing issues related to violations of the ceasefire has registered 45 cases of firing: 15 in the province of Idlib, 13 in Aleppo, 13 in Latakia, and four in Hama. The Turkish side has registered 44 truce breaches: 20 in the province of Idlib, 11 in Latakia, 11 in Hama, and two in Aleppo," the ministry said in its daily bulletin.

The bulletin added that Russian military had held no humanitarian operations in Syria over the given period.

Russia, Turkey and Iran are the ceasefire guarantors in conflict-affected Syria. Russia carries out humanitarian operations across the country on a regular basis and helps Damascus in providing safe passage for the return of Syrian refugees.

The Syrian government has regained control over most of the territories that were seized by terrorists in late 2017, however anti-terror operations still continue in a number of areas.
