The Russian consulate building came under fire by al-Nusra Front terrorists in Aleppo, Syria's second largest city, the Russian Foreign Ministry said. The attack took place on Thursday, according to the ministry. No casualties have been reported. Earlier in the day, the Russian center for Syrian reconciliation said that al-Nusra Front terrorists attempt to derail Syrian peaceful settlement, escalating tensions in Syria's Latakia and Aleppo provinces. Earlier in the day, a source told Sputnik that Russia and the United States had agreed to introduce state of cessation of hostilities in northern Latakia province and suburbs of Damascus in Syria from midnight on April 30. Following the announcement, media reports emerged claiming that Aleppo would also be involved in the regime, but were refuted by a different source. The ceasefire in Syria, worked out by Russia and the United States, took effect on February 27. Terrorist groups are not part of the agreement.
