Syria: Both Sides Accused of Violating Fragile Ceasefire
--------------------------------------------------------

In Syria, a partial ceasefire brokered by the United States and Russia
has entered its third day, amid accusations of violations from both
sides. Airstrikes by either Syria or Russian warplanes hit a number of
rebel-held villages in what the Syrian opposition called a violation of
the truce. Meanwhile, Russian officials accused rebel groups of
violations. However, overall, the ceasefire, which is the first to be
attempted in years, appears to have calmed the violence.
