An armored personnel carrier of the Russian military police BTR-82A was fired at from an anti-tank missile system from the territory under the control of pro-Turkish armed formations. The victims were promptly evacuated to a military hospital, where they received the necessary medical assistance. Currently, the health of servicemen is not threatened. Their injuries are assessed as minor.
