MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 19th September, 2018) A total of 509 Syrians returned to their homes from Lebanon over the past 24 hours, the Russian Defense Ministry's Center for Refugee Reception, Distribution and Settlement said Wednesday in a statement.
"Over the past day, in total 509 people (153 women and 260 children) left Lebanon for Syria via the Jaydet-Yabus CP [checkpoint]," the statement read.
In addition, 343 Syrians returned to the provinces of Deir ez-Zor, Damascus and Homs.
According to the bulletin, the Syrian engineering units also defused 43 explosive devices in Homs and Quneitra provinces.
Syria has been torn by civil war since 2011, with the government fighting numerous opposition groups and terrorist organizations. Russia is assisting the country in returning to peaceful life, being a guarantor of the ceasefire regime and having announced in late July the creation of a refugee center in Syria that will receive, relocate and accommodate civilians returning home.
