"Despite the ceasefire regime being established throughout the country, there are still cases of ceasefire regime violation by illegal armed formations in the Idlib de-escalation zone. Over the last 24 hours, four cases of shelling have been registered in western outskirts of Aleppo. Two Syrian soldiers and one civilian were wounded as a result of the shelling," Lt.
