MOSCOW, Sept. 24 (Xinhua) -- Russia registered nine ceasefire violations in three Syrian provinces over the last 24 hours, the Russian Defense Ministry said Sunday.

The violations were recorded in the provinces of Aleppo (1), Hama (4) and Damascus (4), the ministry said in its daily bulletin.

In the same period of time, the Turkish party has registered five cases of ceasefire violations, the document added.

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

So far, a total of 2,235 settlements have signed reconciliation agreements, the ministry said.

Earlier this month, Russia's military said that some 85 percent of Syria's territory had been liberated from illegal armed unit by Syrian government troops supported by the Russian air force.

According to the bulletin, the situation in the de-escalation zones continued to be assessed as stable.

On May 4, Russia, Iran and Turkey, mediators for the Astana peace talks for a political settlement of the Syrian crisis, signed a memorandum on the creation of four de-escalation zones in Syria, which are guaranteed to be free of battles and airstrikes for six months.

The three countries announced on Sept. 15 the creation of de-escalation zones in Syria under the memorandum and agreed to each contribute 500 military police to be deployed in the de-escalation zone in Syria's Idlibe province.
