MOSCOW, April 15 (Xinhua) -- A total of 14 violations of the ceasefire regime in Syria were registered by Russian monitors in the past 24 hours, the Russian Defense Ministry said Saturday.

"Within last 24 hours, the Russian party of the Russia-Turkey Commission on violations of the Joint Agreement has registered 14 ceasefire violations in the provinces of Damascus (8), Latakia (2), Hama (3), and Daraa (1)," the ministry's centre for Syrian reconciliation said in a daily bulletin.

The document also noted that Turkish monitors have registered 12 cases of ceasefire violations, with only two of them confirmed by the Russian side.

Both Russia and Turkey are guarantors of a nationwide Syrian ceasefire regime that came into force on December 30, 2016.

According to the bulletin, the total number of settlements that have joined the ceasefire regime has increased to 1,463.

Negotiations on joining the ceasefire regime have been continued with field commanders of detachments of armed opposition in the Aleppo, Damascus, Homs, Hama, and al-Quneitra provinces, the document read.
