Live: Latest on Syria after its capital falls to opposition forces

Syrian armed opposition forces, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), captured important cities such as Aleppo, Ham, and Homs within 10 days, and seized full control of Syrian capital of Damascus on Sunday, ending over five decades of rule by the Assad family. According to RIA news agency, former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his family have arrived in Moscow and been granted asylum by Russia for humanitarian reasons.
