This photo combo, made from footage taken from the Russian Defense Ministry official website, purports to show the Tetrapylon, a set of four monuments with four columns each at the center of the colonnaded road leading to a Roman-era amphitheater on June 6, 2016, left, and on Feb. 5, 2017, right, in Palmyra, Syria. Russia's defense ministry has released drone footage showing new destruction in Syria's historic town of Palmyra, which was recently recaptured by the Islamic State group, and warned that the militants could be planning the further demolition of antiquities.
