Syrian government warplanes carried out several air strikes in the Eastern Ghouta area east of Damascus today, a day after the Syrian military declared a cessation of hostilities in the area, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The British-based monitoring group said Saturday had been relatively calm after the ceasefire took effect with isolated incidents of shellfire.
Six air strikes hit the towns of Douma and Ain Terma in rebel-held Eastern Ghouta today, it reported.
