A Russian soldier was killed and three others were injured as a result of the explosion of an armored car in the Syrian province of Hasakah. On Wednesday, June 9, reports "RIA Novosti" with reference to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
"As a result of the explosion, one Russian serviceman died from his injuries. Three Russian servicemen who were traveling with him in the car were taken to a medical facility, where they received the necessary medical care. At present, their lives are not in danger, " the report says.
It is noted that the armored car was blown up by an unknown explosive device. The incident occurred on June 9 when checking the route of the patrol of the Russian military police in the province of Hasakeh.
The Russian Defense Ministry will provide the family of the deceased soldier with all the necessary assistance and support.
On May 21, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that the Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist group operating in Syria (banned in Russia) is preparing to carry out another provocation using toxic substances.
She pointed out that the chemicals accumulated by the militants in the Idlib de-escalation zone in the north of the country will be used against the civilian population.
At the end of April, suspicious activity of the infamous White Helmets organization was recorded in Syria. In addition, according to the Russian military, the militants deliver toxic substances from the Tel Tun camp in the vicinity of Idlib.
In October 2020, it became known that during the preparation of a provocation with chemical weapons in Syria, four terrorists were killed. The militants were killed in an explosion at a warehouse where ammunition and chlorine-containing substances were stored. The incident occurred 13 km from Idlib.
The armed conflict in Syria has been going on since 2011. In 2017, it was announced the victory over the terrorist group IS (banned in Russia) in Syria and Iraq. In some areas of the countries, the cleansing of militants continues. The political settlement, the reconstruction of Syria and the return of refugees are now at the forefront.
