messages come from Syria about, that the Russian Aerospace Forces conducted a new operation against the militants in response to the attack of the Russian convoy.
Recall, that the attack on the Russian-Turkish military patrol took place 14 July.
On the set, which was conducted by a video recorder on one of the armored vehicles, shown, how the explosion occurs on the patrol route.
The explosion was made by a suicide bomber, who approached the first patrol car in a white car, filled with explosives.
As a result of the attack, as official sources said, three Russian servicemen were injured. These are representatives of the military police from Ingushetia.
Blasting video from a different angle, by which one can judge about the high power of the explosive device:
On the attack, which the militants carried out against the Russian military, foreign media reacted. The German press says, that peace in Syria is a long way off and that militant attacks will continue until then, while countries, involved in the Syrian war, do not reach workable agreements.
The Turkish media stated that, that several Turkish soldiers were also injured, participating in joint patrols. The severity of their injuries is not reported..
In the United States, meanwhile, a statement by the country's special representative for Syria, James Jeffrey, has been published.. According to him, “The United States does not seek the departure of Bashar al-Assad and does not limit the military presence of Russia in Syria”. In Washington say, that the main purpose of the US military presence in the SAR – “fight against international terrorism”. This fight looks very strange, especially when you consider, that the bulk of the American contingent in Syria is concentrated on the oil facilities in the east of the country.
Iranian media noted, that undermining the patrol – clear provocation of forces, behind the militants, designed for a new escalation of the conflict.
Chinese media publish materials, which says, that the attack of the Russian patrol in the SAR was carried out in coordination of the actions of the militants with those, who gave them such a task. The moment was chosen, when the patrol was not accompanied by helicopters, as well as when the column passes through the settlement. About, who exactly could set the task to attack the patrol, not reported.
