ORENBURG/BEIRUT, April 28. /TASS/. The body of Russian commando Alexander Prokhorenko, who was killed in Syria on a combat mission earlier this spring, will be brought to his birthplace in the Orenburg Region in May, the regional government’s press office told TASS without specifying the day of the funeral.

It remains unclear whether the officer’s body has been handed over to Russian military in Syria already or not, and when it will be brought to his home village in the lower reaches of the Volga River.

"Alexander Prokhorenko’s body will be delivered to the village of Gorodky for burial in early May. The date is not known yet," the press-office said.
