Backed by Russian airstrikes, pro-Syrian forces reclaimed control of Palmyra after a 10-month Islamic State occupation that included the destruction of several monuments dating back nearly 2,000 years.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the offensive left 400 militants dead along with more than 180 pro-government fighters. President Bashar al-Assad hailed it as an "important achievement, and fresh proof of the efficiency of the Syrian army and its allies in fighting terrorism."

State media said experts will be in Palmyra in the coming days to assess the damage done by the militants.敘利亞軍方說，收復古城帕爾米拉後，將擴大對伊斯蘭國恐怖組織的軍事行動。

在俄羅斯空襲支援下，親敘利亞軍隊重新控制了被伊斯蘭國佔領10個月之久的帕爾米拉，城中幾座具有近2000年曆史的紀念碑都在被佔期間遭到破壞。

總部設在英國的敘利亞人權瞭望臺說，這次軍事行動中有400名激進分子和180多名親政府軍人喪生。敘利亞總統阿薩德讚揚這次軍事行動，稱其爲一個“重要的成果，再次證明了敘利亞軍隊及其盟友打擊恐怖主義的有效性”。

敘利亞國家媒體說，專家們不久將趕往帕爾米拉，對激進分子造成的破壞進行評估。
