Russia accuses US-backed rebels of violating Syrian truce

The Russian military has said US-backed rebels have repeatedly violated a ceasefire in Syria, but that the nearly day-old truce has largely held.

Col Sergei Kopytsyn said in a video call from an area near Aleppo that six people have been killed and another 10 have been wounded in the northern city since the truce went into force at sunset on Monday.
