Militants from the al-Nusra Front jihadist group have attacked a number of settlements in Syria's provinces of Idlib, Hama, Homs and Latakia in the past 24 hours, the Russian Defense Ministry said Sunday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — A US-Russia-brokered ceasefire came into force across Syria on February 27, but it does not apply to terrorist organizations active in the country, such as al-Nusra Front and the Daesh, outlawed in many countries, including Russia.

"Terrorist formations of al-Nusra Front have shelled settlement of Al-Fuah in the province of Idlib, airport in the province of Hama and settlement of Mesherfa in Homs province. Troops of the terrorist group had also shelled Hakur Tahtani, Rasha and Ard Wata in Latakia province," the ministry said in a daily bulletin posted on its website.

The bulletin added that in the past 24 hours the Daesh militants had also attacked positions of Kurdish militias in the province of Aleppo, while the Kurds had driven jihadists from Shaykh Isa settlement.
