Russia Says 4 of its Soldiers Died in Syria Roadside Bombing

MOSCOW —

The Russian military says four of its servicemen were killed in Syria when their vehicle struck a roadside bomb.

The Defense Ministry says the explosion happened as a Syrian military convoy, including the vehicle with Russian military advisers, was driving to the city of Homs in central Syria last Thursday from the Tiyas air base, which is close to the ancient town of Palmyra held by the Islamic State group.

The ministry says the bomb was detonated by remote control. Two other Russian servicemen were wounded.

A lot of people don't like our "decline" of leadership in the Middle East; we shouldn't have treated Egypt like we did in 2011;

But along with leadership comes a big bulls eye target on our backs.

Anyone who is over there, Russia, US or even regional powers like the Saudis and Iran will have to deal with things like this.
