Three Russian and several Turkish soldiers were wounded Tuesday in Syria’s restive Idlib province when a joint military patrol was hit by an improvised explosive device, Russia’s defence ministry said.

Russia and Turkey launched the patrols along the M4 highway in March following a ceasefire agreement aimed at stopping heavy fighting in and around Idlib, the last major bastion of anti-government forces in Syria’s civil war.
