A clear evidence of inclusive diffraction observed by the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in minimum bias events at √(s)=0.9 TeV, 2.36 TeV is presented. The observed diffractive signal is dominated by inclusive single-diffractive dissociation and can be identified by the presence of a Large Rapidity Gap that extends over the forward region of the CMS detector. A comparison of the data with Monte Carlo predictions provided by PYTHIA6 and PHOJET generators is given. In addition, first observation of the single-diffractive production of di-jets at √(s)=7 TeV is presented.
