In Syria, the Russian military base was attacked: there are killed servicemen of the Russian Federation

To spread: In Syria, there was an attack on the side of the locals on the Russian military base Khmeimim. There was a shootout, which causes the dead on both sides. This was reported on May 20 by the Russian telegram-channel "Voenny Zadomist". It is reported that there was a shooting of Russian soldiers on the basis with "Syrian militants". "At Khmeimim, a shootout occurred between Russian servicemen and Syrian militants.

It is reported that there are casualties among the Russian military and destruction of the attackers," the message reads. The "Osvedomist" writes that the attempt was probably made by members of radical groups, who did not join Syria after the seizure of power. Also one of the options for attacking the air base is the possible pressure on the Russian authorities of the new Syria power through direct armed attacks.

Recall that this is not the first attack on the Russian air base in the last few months. Yes, on February 20, the Russian Aviation Khmeimim has already been attacked. Israel hit it, and the attack occurred a few minutes after the Iranian aircraft unloaded weapons for the Lebanese Hezbolla group. Also, on February 12 in Syria, the army did not allow Russia to export transport and launchers with missiles to the S-300 and C-400 SPRs through the Port Taurus.
