“The Islamic State (IS) group has retaken the Syrian city of Palmyra, hours after Russian air strikes appeared to have driven it back. The governor of Homs province, Talal Barazi, said government forces were now regrouping outside the ancient city, preparing to launch a fresh assault. IS held the city from May 2015 until it was forced out in March this year. Correspondents say IS appears to have taken advantage of the government’s focus on Aleppo, further north.”
