Moscow, Nov 5 (SocialNews.XYZ) Russian military policemen and Turkish border guards have began their second joint patrol mission in Syria near the border with Turkey, the Russian Defence Ministry said Tuesday.
The joint patrol is taking place along a new route near the Syrian-Turkish border, passing through large settlements of Bandar Khan and Shiuh-Faukani, the ministry's Zvezda broadcasting service said.
A total of 50 personnel from both sides will participate in the mission using Russian Tiger and Turkish Kirpi armoured vehicles, it said, reports Xinhua news agency.
