The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it had not received a single report of combatants or civilians killed by fighting in any areas covered by the truce. The Observatory estimates the death toll since the start of the conflict at abound 430,000, in line with U.N. estimates. Observatory Director Rami Abdulrahman said the fighting could be a serious threat to the ceasefire if it did not stop. While stressing that only 24 hours of relative calm had passed, he said: "Sources on the ground, which do matter, including inside Aleppo city, said the situation has dramatically improved with no air strikes." Syrian state media said armed groups had violated the truce in a number of locations in Aleppo city and in the west Homs countryside on at least seven occasions on Tuesday.
