(Zaman Al Wasl)- Russia's warplanes on Sunday carried out ten raids on Harbanafseh town in Hama province, rebel commander said, a day after a cessation of hostilities agreement took effect.
An Ahrar al-Sham field commander said regime and Russia have stepped up aerial and ground offensive on the northern countryside of Homs and southern countryside of Hama despite the U.S.-Russia ceasefire deal.
Activists said three breaches reported in rebel-held Homs on Saturday.
Abu Saqer said the his powerful Islamist group and allied rebel factions had thwarted regime attack, killing four regime militants near the Turkmen-dominated town of Harbanafseh.
In northern Aleppo province, Russian war planes attacked six towns early on Sunday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and activists said.
The cessation of hostilities, agreed as part of a U.S. and Russian plan, does not cover assaults on militants from Islamic State or the Nusra Front - an al Qaeda affiliate that has called for an escalation of attacks on Friday.
Other attacks hit the villages and towns of Qabtan al-Jabal, Andan, Hreitan, Kfar Hamra and Ma'aret al-Arteek, the Observatory said, all in the west of the province where insurgents from the Free Syrian Army, who are covered by the truce, have operated.
Two videos sent by a rebel commander to Reuters shows a strike in another town, Harbnafseh, at 6.30am (0430 GMT)and another at 07:00am (0500 GMT) according to the voice in the video. The footage shows plumes of smoke rising into the sky.
Russia said on Saturday that it would suspend all flights over Syria for one day to ensure no targets covered by the truce were hit by mistake. (With Reuters)
