| [ENGLISH.ALMANAR.LB] Four Russian servicemen were killed and two maimed when a boom-mobile exploded on February 16, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Monday. "Russian military medics are fighting to save their lives," the ministry said in a statement. The vehicle was part of a motorcade transporting Syrian troops with the Russian military advisers from the Tiyas airbase to the city of Homs, when the mine detonated 2.5 miles away from the point of departure. On December 5, Death Eaters of the so-called Syrian opposition attacked a Russian mobile military hospital in Aleppo, killing two Russian military medics and wounding one. Local residents also sustained wounds. On June 16, Russian Sergeant Andrei Timoshenkov died in hospital a day after he had entered into a battle against jacket wallahs while guarding a humanitarian aid distribution point in Homs province. The soldier opened fire on one of three vehicles filled with explosives and stopped it, receiving lethal injuries in an kaboom. |
