London, May 21: After seizing ancient city of Ramadi in Iraq recently, Islamic State militants have seized ancient Syrian city Palmyra, media reported.
According to reports, militants have entered the site containing prized ruins, reports say.
So far no reports of destruction of artefacts have been received, BBC reported on Thursday citing Syrian Observatory monitoring group.
The reports also said that IS also controled the nearby air base, prison and intelligence headquarter. Syria has admitted it has pulled pro-government troops out of the city.
