MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Militants have attacked the positions of the Syrian armed forces in the province of Aleppo, injuring one soldier, Rear Adm. Vadim Kulit, the deputy head of the Russian Defense Ministry's Center for Reconciliation of Opposing Sides in Syria, said on Monday.
"Militants of illegal armed groups operating in the Syrian territory controlled by the Turkish armed forces have shelled the positions of the Syrian Arab Army near the Avsariya settlement of the Aleppo province. As a result, one soldier of the Syrian government forces was wounded," Kulit said
