Militants from the Islamic State group have destroyed part of the Roman amphitheatre in the ancient city of Palmyra, Syrian officials say.
The facade of the second-century amphitheatre and a four-sided monument called a tetrapylon have been destroyed, state media report.
The jihadists recaptured the Unesco-listed archaeological site in December from government troops.
IS previously held the site for ten months up to March 2016.
The group is known to have destroyed other monuments before they were forced out by a Russian-backed government offensive.
