Russia's reconciliation center said that the Russian military has signed a ceasefire deal with the government of Syria's Latakia province that became the first agreement of a kind made since the breakout of the bloody conflict, Sputnik news agency reported.

Alexander Vorontsov, a member of Russian Syria reconciliation center in Latakia province, said that the deal has become the first instance of Russian military signing a ceasefire agreement with a provincial administration in Syria. 

Earlier deals were signed with distinct settlements, he explained.

Vorontsov said that the Russian troops have also provided residents of the mountain village of al-Serkezia in the Latakia Province with humanitarian aid.

The reconciliation center has signed numerous local peace pacts with leaders of Syrian settlements since it set up a base in the western Syrian province on the Mediterranean two years ago.
