Syria's military has declared a ceasefire in the country over.

The Syrian military leadership has released a statement saying "armed terrorist groups" repeatedly violated the agreement between forces loyal to President Assad and rebels.

However, those groups also accuse the government of violating the ceasefire.

The agreement is the second ceasefire negotiated by the US and Russia this year, in the hope of finding a political solution to the 5-year conflict.

Violence has been increasing in recent days, and efforts to get aid into the besieged city of Aleppo had to be postponed.
