Truce in Syria was extended for 72 hours as Hemeimim coordination center reported more breaches by terrorists.

The center pointed out that the truce in northern Lattakia province and Aleppo city was extended 72 hours starting at 01:00, Saturday.

"The number of terrorist organizations’ breaches raised to 490 since the  cessation of hostilities agreement came into effect on February 27th," SANA news agency quoted Hemeimim center as saying.

The center added, in a statement on Friday, that it observed 6 breaches by terrorist  organizations in Lattakia province during the last 24 hours, pointing out that two more towns  had joined the agreement to raise the number to 94 towns.

“Nusra Front terrorists keep conducting provocative actions aiming at breaking down truce  in Aleppo, by firing local-made artillery systems randomly at a number of city neighborhoods,  as well as shelling the two towns of Handarat and Hilan with artillery”, the center said.

Nusra terrorists tried to besiege Aleppo from the southern side and launched  attacks against the towns of Khan Touman, Al-Khalediya and Al-Hamra in the southern countryside of Aleppo province, according to Hemeimim.

The coordination center affirmed that “five tons of food and medical aids were delivered to  locals of Aleppo”, pointing out the continuation of work for delivering more aids to locals of  Homs and Aleppo.
