MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Earlier in the day, a source told Sputnik that Russia and the United States had agreed to introduce state of cessation of hostilities in northern Latakia province and suburbs of Damascus in Syria from midnight on April 30.
Following the announcement, media reports emerged claiming that Aleppo would also be involved in the regime, but were refuted by a different source.
“With the goal of sustaining the ceasefire regime that was reached by an agreement, from April 30, a ‘silence regime’ extending to the regions of Eastern Ghouta and Damascus for 24 hours, and to Latakia and its northern suburbs for 72 hours will be implemented,” the news agency cited the General Staff’s announcement as saying.
The ceasefire in Syria, worked out by Russia and the United States, took effect on February 27. Terrorist groups are not part of the agreement.
