Russia says joint patrol with Turkey hit by bomb attack in Syria

A roadside bomb planted by Syrian militants detonated near a joint Russian-Turkish patrol in northern Syria on Tuesday morning, injuring three Russian soldiers, the Russian Defence Ministry said.

Russia called off the patrol following the blast near the town of Ariha in Idlib province, which damaged one Russian and one Turkish armoured personnel carrier, the Russian ministry said.

The Russian statement said an unspecified number of Turkish troops were also hurt. Two sources said there were no Turkish casualties in the attack.

Russia was evacuating its equipment from the area and moving its troops to the Hmeimim air base where some of them would receive treatment, the Russian statement said.

I'm not sure but I think the APC on the left is the Russian one while the APC on the right was Turkish, the Turkish APC was further away, coincidence? I think not.
if it was premeditated then we can kiss the de-escalation goodby.
however since no one died so far probably every one will forget about it, currently everyone is busy with Corona & the resulting economic damage.

S.Arabia and The Uae backed HTS wants to provoke Russia to fight Turkiye in Idlib


even MBZ ( The Uae ) tried to give $3 billion to ASSAD Regime for attacking Turkish Forces in Idlib

those two APCs actually seem unharmed by the blast, however there was a third (probably military) truck right behind them, it was in direct contact with the blast so yeah the bomb targeted that one.
