Two civilians were killed and 12 others were injured in terrorist attacks with different types of shells that targeted the neighborhoods of Maysaloun, al-Jmeiliyeh and al-Maidan in Aleppo city, SANA reporter said.

Earlier on the day, the Russian Center for coordinating and monitoring the cessation of hostilities agreement in Syria said a child was killed and 8 people were injured in Jabhat al-Nusra shelling of Handarat Camp and al-Sheik Maqsoud in Aleppo.

In an statement on Thursday, the Hmeimim-based center said terrorist attacks that targeted different areas in Aleppo in the past 24 hours have left at least 54 civilians dead and 93 injured.

It clarified that the casualties were caused by terrorist groups’ indiscriminate shelling of neighborhoods of al-Sheik Maqsoud, al-Midan, al-Muhafaza and al-Zahraa in Aleppo city and al-Nairab Airport and several towns in the countryside of Aleppo.

The Center noted that terrorists of Jabhat al-Nusra and “Ahrar al-Sham” targeted positions of the Syrian Arab Army in al-Sheik Maqsoud and Handarat town.

Citing the incidents where the cessation of hostilities agreement was violated in the past 24 hours, the Center said there were three breaches observed in Damascus province committed by the terrorist groups.

A 72-hour truce has been established in two towns in Idleb (Kfarhaya and al-Fouaa) and in two other towns in Damascus countryside (al-Zabadani and Madaya), the Russian center pointed out, noting that the truce will start as of Thursday midnight.

The total number of towns that joined the cessation of hostilities agreement has reached 140, according to the Center.

Russian aircrafts had carried 36 tons of humanitarian cargos to the ISIS-besieged Deir Ezzor city, while 3 trucks carrying food products and flour were sent to Deir al-Salib village in Hama province.

The cessation of hostilities agreement, in place in Syria since February 27 in implementation of the Security Council resolution 2268, does not include ISIS, Jabhat al-Nusra and other armed groups internationally listed as terrorist organizations.
