Clashes have been reported after two hours of a nationwide ceasefire in Syria, coming into force, The Daily Telegraph reported.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said rebels had violated the truce deal and taken over a position in Hama province.
Mohammed Rasheed, a spokesman for the Jaish al-Nasr rebel group, said government forces had violated the truce, shelling areas in Atshan and Skeik villages in Idlib province, which borders Hama.
The deal, brokered by Russia and Turkey, which back opposing sides in the conflict, began at midnight on Friday, local time, (2200 GMT on Thursday) in the latest attempt to end nearly six years of bloodshed.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, a key ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, announced the ceasefire on Thursday after preparing the agreement with Turkey, a longtime backer of the opposition.
