Car bomb targets Russian base near Ain Issa: war monitor
[Rudaw] A boom-mobile went kaboom! outside a Russian base in northeastern Syria, south of Ain Issa on Friday, according to a conflict monitor and local media. An al-Qaeda-linked group has reportedly grabbed credit. The attack comes amid near-daily festivities in the area between Kurdish-led forces and Syrian militias backed by The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...
Two men parked an explosive-laden vehicle outside the Russian base in the town of Tal al-Samen and fled before detonating the bomb, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported, adding that there were injuries among the Russian forces.

"It’s the first such direct attack against a Russian base in northeastern Syria," Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Observatory, told AFP.

Russia has not immediately commented on the incident.

A statement purportedly from the jihadist group Hurras al-Din, which has ties to al-Qaeda, circulated on social media and grabbed credit for the attack. Hurras al-Din is designated a terror organization by the United States and its activities are concentrated in Idlib.

Russian forces are present in northeastern Syria as part of a ceasefire agreement brokered last year that ended Turkey’s offensive against Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Russia recently deployed more forces to the area after deadly festivities between Ottoman Turkish-backed militias and the SDF.
