Russian forces have started deployment near the Turkish observation post encircled by the Syrian Army in northern Hama. The post is located near the town of Murak recently liberated by government forces.
After the collapse of militants’ defense in the Khan Shaykhun countryside, Turkish troops deployed on the Murak post appeared to be fully encircled by Syrian forces. Most likely, the Russians came there to rescure the Turks from warm greetings of the Syrian military that knows well about Ankara’s efforts to support radical militants in the area.
