rontlines across three provinces in southwest Syria have remained mostly quiet nearly 24 hours after an internationally brokered ceasefire took effect, according to a UK-based monitor.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said there has been only sporadic activity in the provinces of Deraa, Suweida and Quneitra since the truce began at noon local time (09:00 GMT) on Sunday.

The United States, Russia and Jordan announced the agreement of the ceasefire earlier this week after a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his counterpart Donald Trump.

SOHR said the ceasefire appeared to be largely holding but reported sporadic incidents of violence.

Sunday's ceasefire went into effect just ahead of new peace talks in Geneva, which begin later Monday.
