 ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
’s Defense Ministry said Tuesday.
Ottoman Turkish forces retaliated to the attack by firing on targets they identified in the region, the Defense Ministry said in a statement.
It did not elaborate or say who was responsible for the attack late Monday, according to The News Agency that Dare Not be Named.
The Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitoring group, said a roadside kaboom went kaboom! when a Ottoman Turkish convoy of seven vehicles was passing on a road between the border crossing point of Bab al-Hawa and the Syrian border village of Kfar Lousin.
The Observatory said one of the vehicles suffered a direct hit. Ambulances, it said, rushed to the areas to evacuate Ottoman Turkish troops who suffered injuries.
It added that Ottoman Turkish troops cordoned off the area for some time preventing people from reaching it.
Last year, Turkey and Russia reached a cease-fire agreement that stopped a Russian-backed Syrian government offensive on Idlib - the last major opposition stronghold in Syria.
Despite sporadic violations, the agreement has held since then.
Russia is the Syrian government’s main military ally, while Turkey has backed the Syrian opposition.
