Control of the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra has been going
back and forth between government forces and so-called Islamic State, reports
say.
Activists say IS regained control of the city despite being
forced from the centre by Russian air strikes.
They entered the city on Saturday after launching an
offensive earlier in the week.
The Syrian army has also sent reinforcements to the city,
reportedly diverting troops from Aleppo.
IS held the Unesco World Heritage site of Palmyra from May
2015 until they were forced out in March this year.
