Drone video shows ongoing battle for Palmyra as Syrian army retake ancient ruins from Isis
Drone footage has been released revealing an aerial view of the ancient ruins of Palmyra as Syrian soldiers recaptured parts of the city in their battle against the Islamic State (Isis).
The video, screened by Russian State TV, shows the old citadel and ancient ruins recaptured by the Syrian army. Many of Palmyra’s temples and tombs have been dynamited by IS fighters in what the United Nations described as a war crime, although drone footage showed that at least some colonnades and structures, including the theatre, are still standing.
