ISIS terrorist group has massacred more that 400 people in Syria's ancient city of Palmyra, mostly women and children, Syrian state TV said Sunday, citing residents.
Reuters reported Syrian state TV as saying it was quoting residents inside the city, which is known as Tadmur in Arabic and is home to renowned Roman-era ruins including well-preserved temples, colonnades and a theater.
"Hundreds of bodies were in the streets of the city after it was seized by the terrorist group on Wednesday," Reuters quoted Syrian activists as saying on social media.
According to RT, ISIS terrorists have entered Syria’s historic city of Palmyra, a UNESCO landmark, earlier this week after gaining full control over the city. The UN human rights office said on Thursday that one-third of Palmyra’s 200,000 populations have fled the city.
UNESCO describes Palmyra as a city of "outstanding universal value," an "oasis in the Syrian desert" northeast of Damascus.
