Unidentified gunmen targeted a Turkish military base in the town of “Ram Hamdan”, north of Idlib, with a guided missile, wounding a Turkish soldier and two members of the Turkish-backed “Sham Legion”.

A local source stated that the attack also caused material damage to the Turkish base, while the identity of the perpetrators was not known and no party has claimed responsibility for it yet.
