Explosive hits joint patrol of Turkish and Russian troops in northwestern Syria, causing damage but no casualties, Turkey's defence ministry said

An aerial picture shows Syrians gathering at the site of an improvised explosive device which hit a joint Turkish-Russian patrol near the Syrian town of Ariha in opposition-held northwestern Idlib province on July 14, 2020.

Troops were carrying out their 21st joint patrol near Ariha town in the Idlib ceasefire zone when their vehicles were targeted by a roadside explosive at 0550 GMT on Tuesday. Russian jets that flew at high altitude conducted a series of bombing raids on several opposition-held areas in retaliation for the attack, according to residents and a network of plane spotters who document sightings of jet fighters.Hundreds of civilians fled, fearing a wider resumption of the Russian-led air strikes that had displaced over a million people before the ceasefire, witnesses said.

The March deal urged parties to "cease all military actions along the line of contact” in the de-escalation area in Idlib, an embattled Syrian rebel and opposition-held province just south of Turkey’s border.

Russia keeps U.S. fuel oil exports high as Washington seeks to replace Venezuelan barrelsRussia kept fuel oil exports to the United States close to its record-highs in the first six months of this year, as Washington looks to replace the heavy Venezuelan barrels it stopped buying a year ago, traders said and data showed. Until we can further decrease our oil dependence, there should be a rule that oil has to travel the shortest distance from the source. the reasoning for Trumps actions against Venezuela like everything is to serve Putin’s interests. We need more refineries that can refine our own oil. If we could do that it would travel shorter distances and there would be less chance for spills, we could be sure of the way it’s drilled and it’s impact, and keep Americans working. I’m sure there’s more idk but still... 🤷🏼‍♀️
