A ceasefire deal for southwestern Syria took effect at noon (0900 GMT) on Sunday, the latest international attempt at peacemaking in the country’s six-year war.
The United States, Russia and Jordan reached a ceasefire and “de-escalation agreement” on Friday meant to halt fighting between Syrian government forces and rebel groups in the southwest.
