Russian Defense Ministry - Terrorists Shell Civilian Targets

 ISIL and Fatah al-Sham Front militants attacked a number of civilian targets with multiple launch rocket systems (MRLS) and mortars in four of Syria's provinces over the past 24 hours, the Russian Defense Ministry said.

"Groupings of Fatah al-Sham Front (formerly known as al-Nusra Front) and ISIL do not stop making attempts to break the ceasefire regime," the ministry said in a daily bulletin posted on its website, Sputnik reported.

Moreover, mortars and AT grenade launchers have been used against a number of settlements in the provinces of Dara'a, Hama and Damascus, according to the ministry.

"Within last 24 hours, in the Aleppo city terrorists have fired MLRS, AT missile complexes and mortars against Ramousseh, Housing Project 1070, the military school of armament and the Castillo trade center."

It is not clear whether the statement by the Russian ministry also referred to attacks that took place after the onset of the ceasefire or not.

Syria government has been engaged in war against several militant groups since 2011, with government forces loyal to President Bashar Assad fighting numerous foreign-backed militants, as well as terrorist groups.
