April 2018: in the Daman region of the Afghan province of Kandahar, reporters from foreign and local publications were killed because of the explosion.
November 2015: in Syria, a car with the RT film crew came under fire from the militants, one anti-tank guided missile blew up next to it, the second hit the car. Roman Kosarev was among the wounded.

This course is for the first time for representatives of the media specializing in counterterrorism in the CSTO format.
