The Syrian army has managed to defuse a total of eighteen improvised explosive devices, four mines and seven projectiles in the Palestinian refugee camp of Yarkmouk located south of Damascus, Russia’s Syrian reconciliation center said in a statement.
The Russian trained Engineering units of the Syrian Army went through 30 buildings in the Damascus suburbs, which were liberated from militants, checking for and defusing four mines, seven projectiles and eighteen improvised explosive devices.
Last month, the Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu released a statement stating that the situation in Syria had improved greatly after the liberation of the Palestinian refugee camp of Yarmouk, established in 1957, from the Daesh terrorist group that seized the camp in 2015.
According to Russian Defense Ministry’s Center for Syrian reconciliation, at least 68,562 people have returned to their homes in Eastern Ghouta from the refugee and internally displaced persons (IDPs) due to the improving humanitarian situation in Syria.
