Syria on Tuesday files a complaint to the United Nations over terrorist groups’ violations of the cessation of hostilities agreement.

In a letter sent to UN Secretary-General and President of Security Council, Syrian foreign ministry called on the international body to take deterrent measures against the states which are funding and supporting the terrorist organizations operating in the crisis-hit country.

“Nusra Front and other affiliated terrorist organizations, run by operation rooms in Turkey, which are positioned in the surrounding regions of Aleppo, randomly targeted Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood in Aleppo and the near safe neighborhoods with tens of rocket and mortar shells, killing 15 citizens and injuring more than 100 others, among them women and children,” SANA new agency, reported, citing the Syrian letter.

It added that the attack caused the falling of three residential buildings in al-Sheikh Maqsoud, and efforts are still underway to rescue the civilians besieged under the debris of the collapsed buildings.

“Terrorists of Nusra Front and other armed terrorist groups targeted on Monday al-Foua and Kafrya towns in Idleb countryside and Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood in Aleppo, killing 8 citizens and injuring more than 20 others… and terrorists of ISIL also shelled civilians in Deir Ezzor neighborhoods, killing 5 civilians and wounding tens of innocents… they also targeted Deir Ezzor airport with mustard gas, causing cases of suffocation among the defenders of the airport,” the letters said.

The Ministry added that Syria reiterates its respect for Security Council resolutions relevant to the cessation of hostilities agreement, calling it to take all the deterrent measures against the regimes and governments that support and finance terrorism in an implementation of Security Council relevant resolutions, particularly No. 2170, 2178, 2199 and 2253.
