July 14, terrorists using IEDs undermined a joint military patrol of the armies of Russia and Turkey.
Armored vehicles of the two countries moved along the province of Idlib, near the city of Arich, militants blew up an explosive-filled car that damaged an armored personnel carrier BTR-82A of the military police of the Russian Armed Forces and Turkish armored car BMC Kirpi II. Several Turkish and three Russian soldiers were injured.
The Kataib Khattab Ash-Shishani gang has just claimed responsibility for the attack on the Russian-Turkish patrol.
The terrorist published photos and video taken a few seconds before the attack and directly during the bombing.

The US said on Tuesday it will investigate claims of an explosion on the Iraqi-Kuwaiti border that was aimed at a convoy carrying equipment for American forces.
It was not clear if there were any US troops in the convoy or if anyone had been injured in the blast on the Jraischan border crossing south of the Iraqi city of Basra, which occurred just before 9pm Baghdad time on Monday.
A Shiite armed group, Ashab Al Kahf, claimed it destroyed “equipment and vehicles belonging to the American enemy”.
The SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors armed militias, said a video was released that showed what appeared to be an explosion and lights in the distance, with a man speaking in Arabic.
But the video could not be verified.
A spokesman for the Central Command, Maj John Rigsbee, said the military was looking into reports of the explosion.
Iraq and Kuwait denied the incident took place.
"We confirm that what is being circulated on the media about an attack on the northern Kuwaiti border is untrue, our borders are stable and secure," the Kuwaiti news agency said.
The US State Department did not respond to a request for comment by The National.
Vehicles are regularly loaded with military equipment at the crossing, Iraqi security sources said, and the cargo is usually loaded or unloaded before entering or exiting Iraq.
US forces contract foreign companies to provide security in the area, the Iraqi security sources said.
American troops and contractors sometimes travel by road with equipment and supplies between the two countries.
Little is known about the militia group but they have allegedly emerged following the heightening of tensions between Washington and Tehran.
Ashab Al Kahf means “Friends of the Cave” in Arabic, referring to a Christian and Islamic story about youths escaping religious persecution hiding in a cave for hundreds of years.

Civilians who escaped Mosul are gathered at a facility on the outskirts of the city before being screened for Islamic State infiltrators and transferred to displaced persons camps.

Refugees who fled west Mosul warm themselves at night in Kaysumah village. Iraqi army vehicles will take them to displaced persons camps in the coming days.

The Camp Speicher massacre occurred on 12 June 2014, when the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) killed at least 1,095 to 1,700 or more non-Sunni militiamen and Iraqi Army cadets in an attack on Camp Speicher in Tikrit, Iraq. At the time of the massacre, there were between 5,000 and 10,000 unarmed cadets in the camp, and ISIL fighters selected the Shias and non-Muslims for execution. It is the second deadliest act of terrorism in history.
The Iraqi government blamed the massacre on ISIL.
