An explosive device was detonated under an armored vehicle of the Russian military police while they were carrying out reconnaissance tasks before the passage of a humanitarian convoy in Homs, according to the statement.

Since September 2015, Russia has deployed forces in Syria at the request of the government of Syria in order to contribute to the fight against terrorism, where dozens of Russian military personnel, including senior officers, have lost their lives as the Syrian army has managed to defeat almost most of the radical organizations.
