RT Spanish, RT Arabic reporters shelled in Syria, fire comes from Turkey
RT Spanish correspondent Boris Kuznetsov, RT Arabic correspondent Hassan Nasr, RT cameraman Khaled Eldera and Ruptly cameraman Aleksandr Tikhomirov have come under fire in Syria close to the Turkish border while filming footage for a story.
The incident happened near the border town Kessab, Latakia province.
A total of eight shells were fired by forces, which the Syrian military believe were members of Al-Nusra Front terrorist group. The shells landed some 150 to 400 meters from the journalists.
Several journalists from Bulgaria, Canada and China - on a tour to see civilians returning to their homes after a truce came into force in the area - sustained minor injuries, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
