MOSCOW: Militants in Syria’s eastern Ghouta have imposed a curfew in areas under their control to prevent civilians from leaving through a humanitarian corridor while a truce is in place, Interfax news agency reported, citing Russian military.
The rebels have also banned mass gatherings of civilians, Interfax quoted Russian Maj. Gen. Vladimir Zolotukhin as saying on Sunday.
